About the project
As a consequence of climate change, and human action in the past, the geomorphological and geological-geotechnical characteristics of the unstable cliffs (erosion), at the base of Paimogo fort, in the Municipality of Lourinhã in Portugal, puts the fort itself at risk of collapsing. The Paimogo Fort was built in the 17th century and has been classified as a Public Interest Building since 1957.
Due to the progressive retreat of the cliff where the Fort was settled and the proximity to the crest of the cliff, damage to its structure is a progressive process.
To prevent its worsening and to preserve the integrity of this heritage it is necessary to stabilize the cliff in order to mitigate the risk.
Research of geotechnical solutions for the cliff stabilization have been done, and it would be useful to compared with other case studies in European coastal cliffs, with similar geomorphological and geological-geotechnical characteristics, that it is also necessary to solve.

Partners we are looking for
The aim of this post is to identify partners who have similar problems in their coastal area, in order to discuss and choose the best possible solution to solve cliff instability and erosion, that jeopardize classified monuments, like Paimogo Fort. Across Europe, coastal areas are threatened as a result of climate change and important European cultural heritages will certainly be at risk.
