Coastineers Wave Tank - Build your own!

The wave tank is a simple model that can be built as a STEM club project using basic materials and woodworking skills. The wave tank doesn’t just have to be used to demonstrate flood and coastal risk management structures. It is really versatile and can be used to show bridge or pier design, natural flood management or anything else you would like to demonstrate in a marine environment with waves. The wave tank and associated STEM material combines science, engineering and geography learning to help students better understand coastal processes and see these principles in real life. The Coastineers have been working on the coast for a combined 30 years as engineers and scientists and we hope you enjoy making your wave tank as much as we did!
