The shoreline presents a dynamic environment where the essential activities of commerce and lifestyle come together. After centuries of development, coastal zones face especially challenging conditions. Addressing an increase in coastal erosion, the impact of severe weather events and the ever-increasing population shift to waterfront centers requires focused and well planned coastal engineering.

We offer integrated and comprehensive coastal engineering services, from designing effective breakwaters to effective beach nourishment to development of navigation channels. We have the expertise to meet the challenges presented by the need to create sustainable coastal structures to protect lives and property from the impacts of wind, waves and weather.

The corrosive environment of a coastal zone demands specialized science and engineering services. Our technical expertise extends to all coastal regions of the United States. We have restored shoreline ecosystems along the Gulf of Mexico, designed channel navigation enhancements in New York Harbor and designed harbor structures along the Pacific coastline. Our experience also includes international locations and includes projects in Latin America, UK, Caribbean, and Middle East.

As a full-service consulting firm, we offer the complete range of services needed to take on the most difficult coastal engineering project. From navigating the environmental regulatory process to project design and construction oversight to our specialized decision economic services, We offer a full suite of services to address coastal engineering requirements for both built and restorative projects.
