Coastal Engineering Services
Coastal Engineering Services encompass a wide range of specialized areas, including coastal management, erosion control, beach restoration, and the design of various traditional coastal structures and innovative nature based solutions like hybrid seawalls, groins, breakwaters, sand motors, among other green-gray layered defense mechanism.
We also provide other services related to marine structures, like waterfront design, ports and harbor management plans, ecosystem restoration, storm water and sediment management in demand to support emergency operations.
- Coastal Management & Erosion Control: Designing solutions to protect shorelines from erosion, managing inlets, and restoring beaches.
- Marine Structures: Designing and constructing structures like docks, piers, boat ramps, and marinas.
- Coastal Structures: Designing and implementing structures like seawalls, revetments, groins, jetties, and breakwaters to protect coastlines and manage wave action.
- Beach Nourishment & Dune Management: Replenishing beaches with sand and implementing dune vegetation stabilization to enhance natural resilience.
- Wetland & Ecosystem Restoration: Restoring and managing tidal marshes, wetlands, and other coastal ecosystems
- Shoreline Stabilization: Coastal engineers develop strategies to stabilize shorelines using both hard engineering (e.g., seawalls) and soft engineering (e.g., vegetation) approaches
- Nature Based Resiliency: Implementing projects that leverage natural processes.
- Sediment Management: Assess and manage sediment transport, which is crucial for maintaining beach health and preventing shoaling in navigation channels.
- Living Shorelines: Design and implement living shorelines, which use natural materials like plants and oyster reefs to stabilize shorelines and provide habitat.
- Long, medium and short term monitoring and coastal risk management.
- Waterfront Design: Planning and designing waterfront areas for recreational or other purposes.
- Harbor Management: Developing plans for managing harbors and navigational channels.
- Civil Engineering: Providing services such as drainage plans, hydrology studies, and feasibility studies
