Experience
At WGA, our maritime and coastal engineers understand the design considerations specific to the marine environment, such as materials durability, wave actions, vessel berthing and mooring forces, tidal movements, port operations, and construction challenges associated with working on or over water. We offer maritime engineering services that include asset management, port planning, feasibility studies, inspections, engineering design, project management, and construction supervision.
Our team has extensive experience in the following areas of Maritime and Coastal engineering:
- Design of maritime and coastal infrastructure, including:
- Jetties and wharves
- Berthing and mooring dolphins
- Access gangways
- Seawalls and breakwaters
- Boat ramps, marinas and recreational facilities
- Barge and pontoon design and modifications
- Hardstand / pavement design
- Berthing analyses and mooring studies
- Coastal engineering including assessment of coastal processes and design of coastal protection (seawall, breakwaters and groynes)
- Wave studies and determination of wave loads
- Design and assessment of port materials handling solutions
- Demolition engineering for maritime facilities
- Condition surveys, asset management, corrosion studies and maintenance plans.
