EXPERTISE IN WATER WAVES AND CURRENTS + FLOODING + SEDIMENT DYNAMICS
Our expertise in coastal processes allows us to measure, analyze, and model diverse hydrodynamic forcing mechanisms – waves, wind, currents, turbulence energy, and vessel wakes. These drive coastal and riverine dynamics, determine site conditions at commercial and residential properties (including waterfront properties or oil fields), and can lead to sediment erosion, transport, and siltation. We can provide a thorough understanding of these processes and innovative solutions to coastal engineering problems.
Employing cutting-edge methodologies and expertise, we investigate complex issues related to sediment transport dynamics. Erosion (or scour) and sedimentation can significantly impact structure integrity and system performance. Our expertise covers structure-sediment interactions driven by tidal flows, waves, and ship-wakes, as well as sedimentation issues related to dredging, further ensuring our offering of comprehensive coastal engineering solutions.
Coastal systems are complex and dynamic environments where processes can depend on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Understanding how these systems work in detail is critical to providing optimal solutions to our clients. Our expertise in measuring, modeling, and analyzing coastal hydro and sediment dynamics with state-of-the-art tools guarantees successful projects.
