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.
Civil Engineering
Providing services such as drainage plans, hydrology studies, and feasibility studies.
Harbor Management
Developing plans for managing harbors and navigational channels.
