Our Vision: ProvideIndustry-LeadingExpertise & InnovationWSP’s Coastal Engineering Team has developed a comprehensive knowledge and experience in coastal hydraulics and engineering services, ranging from hydrographic survey and hydrodynamic characterization of tidal systems to detailed design of coastal structures. Our engineers have developed a solid expertise in the planning, analysis, design and construction of coastal engineering works of all types including:
• Revetments, breakwaters, groynes and sea defenses for small craft harbours, marinas and shore protection works;
• Integrated coastal and civil infrastructures to support waterfront development and natural systems;
• Green shores, living breakwaters, artificial reefs, dune restoration and beach nourishment programs in sensitive ecosystems such as coastal wetlands and flood plains;
• Dredging, reclamation and navigation plans as part of port development projects.
WSP’s coastal and marine engineering expertise is now linked through various offices around the world which allows the development of a centre of expertise in all technical aspects surrounding the development of a coastal engineering project.
