Sea Wall Protects Galveston From Future Storms
Galveston’s reinforced concrete sea wall along the waterfront extends 19,593 feet with a seventeen foot crest and a thirteen foot wide protected zone inland. Designed by military and civil engineers, it uses granite rip-rap and steel reinforcements to resist wave and hydrostatic pressure. The grade raising, led by Captain Riche, elevates streets and first floors, aiming to safeguard the city after the 1900 hurricane.
