The Xbloc® armour derives its hydraulic stability from its self weight and by interlocking with surrounding units. Due to the highly porous armour layer constructed with Xbloc® units the energy of the incoming waves will be absorbed. The Xbloc® armour layer is therefore able to protect the rock in the under layer from erosion due to waves.
