Modeling
Our capabilities include physical modeling in the laboratory as well as advanced hydrodynamic modeling utilizing high performance supercomputers.
Design
Our coastal engineering design expertise ranges from homeowner scale living shorelines to multi-million dollar, award winning coastal restoration projects… and everything in between.
Analysis
Have a coastal problem that needs solving? We are skilled in the analysis and prediction of coastal processes including tides, waves, currents, and sediment transport.
Monitoring
We have unique monitoring capabilities that can be leveraged for project design, hydrodynamic model validation, and even long-term studies.
We work with nature---our ultimate client---to provide the most appropriate solutions to your complex coastal problems. Whether that solution requires a standard approach or a unique one, we are well equipped to meet your coastal engineering needs.
