After analyzing the Machico Master Plan, and in view of the increase in the value of Hsee, the uses of soil and their categorization were identified, with an

The main focus of this study is the "Execution of an Artificial Beach and Respective Complementary Infrastructures (Madeira Island – Machico)." From the bibliographic analysis, knowledge is acquired at the level of the execution methodologies related to the different alternatives to develop a complete

So, considering the broad scope of the theme of this study and the slowness associated with it, it was possible to achieve the purposes previously stated in a satisfactory manner, complementing the knowledge acquired throughout academic life with scientific information and experimental analysis (use of
