		Where a dock is partially or wholly constructed on reclaimed land, the reclamation bank for enclosing the site and excluding the tide has to be undertaken first by tipping an embankment from each end with wagons, protected and consolidated along its outer toe by rubble stone or chalk.
		Dock walls are constructed of masonry, brickwork or concrete, or of concrete with a facing of masonry or brickwork.
		Silt accumulates in docks where the lowering of the water-level by locking, the drawing down of half-tide basins, and the raising of the water at spring tides, involve the admission of considerable volumes of tidal water heavily charged with silt, Macal Me of which is deposited in still water and has to be periodically depth.

		The LPX is a high-speed amphibious ship, based on the concept of "over-the- horizon assault." As the name indicates, the "over-the-horizon assault" comprises a military operation in which an amphibious landing operation is conducted with high-speed air-cushioned vehicles and helicopters from beyond the horizon, where they can’t be detected or attacked by the enemy.
		The LCAC is able to attempt landing in the coastal areas of 70% of the coasts.
		As it stands, the standard Mistral class is too small, hence the idea to add a 20m plug to meet the RAN requirements.

		Vehicles are moved inside the Foudre using a 52-tonne-capacity elevating platform (38 tonnes on the Siroco) that connects the upper vehicle deck and the well deck.
		The small number carried by the Foudre class is not adequate for this requirement, suggesting that the construction of a dedicated helicopter carrier is required.
