Coastal & Marine Engineering
Safeguarding Coastlines with Resilient Engineering Solutions
From private residential bulkheads in South Florida to large-scale commercial port developments internationally, we provide the technical rigor necessary to ensure longevity, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Core Capabilities
Navigating the Intersection of Land and Sea
Seawall & Bulkhead Design
- Custom design of reinforced concrete, vinyl, and composite seawall systems.
- Structural engineering for hydrostatic pressure, soil retention, and scour protection.
- Integrated wave overtopping mitigation to prevent upland property erosion.
- Sea-level rise (SLR) adaptation strategies for long-term shoreline resilience.
Docks, Piers & Marinas
- Engineering of fixed and floating dock systems tailored to specific water depths.
- Precision design for pier structures and heavy-duty maritime loading docks.
- Comprehensive marina layout planning, including ADA-compliant access.
- Strategic material selection optimized for high-salinity and corrosive environments.
Dredging & Beach Nourishment
- Technical oversight for channel deepening and maintenance dredging operations.
- Scientifically driven sediment transport analysis and beach restoration planning.
- Environmental mitigation coordination, including seagrass and coral protection.
- Regulatory monitoring and post-dredge bathymetric surveying to ensure compliance.
Coastal Modeling & Analysis
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for high-accuracy wave and current prediction.
- Hydrodynamic modeling to assess tidal surges and coastal flood risk scenarios.
- Sand transport and erosion simulation for sustainable shoreline development.
- Structural interaction analysis to predict how new installations affect local wave energy.
