Project TATRakshak

Why is TAT Rakshak?

TAT Rakshak is a nature-aligned coastal protection system designed to reduce erosion, absorb wave energy, and regenerate coastal ecosystems over time. It rethinks conventional coastal defence by combining engineering strength, ecological intelligence, and lifecycle sustainability into a single deployable system.

Living Infrastructure Low-Carbon Coastal Resilience

1. Coastal Protection (Engineering Role)

TAT Rakshak is engineered to dissipate wave energy, control run-up, and reduce direct shoreline impact in erosion-prone and storm-exposed zones.

Its modular eco-armour units are designed to work with local wave climates, improving structural performance while reducing seabed disturbance compared to rigid, monolithic solutions.

2. Ecological Regeneration (Natural Role)

Beyond protection, the system supports sediment capture, root anchoring, and biological growth, enabling mangroves and coastal vegetation to re-establish naturally.

Over time, this ecological integration strengthens shoreline stability and restores coastal balance — turning protection infrastructure into a regenerative asset.

3. Lifecycle & Circular Value (System Role)

TAT Rakshak follows a Green Cycle logic — designed for long service life, repair, reuse, and adaptive deployment.

This reduces long-term maintenance costs, lowers embodied carbon, and aligns coastal infrastructure with climate resilience and nature-based solution frameworks.
