Applied Coastal provides a broad range of engineering
services needed to support design work in the coastal zone. Services
include the baseline scientific work required for project feasibility
studies and conceptual design (e.g. the measurement and analyses of
processes in coastal and nearshore environments), numerical modeling of
wave and hydrodynamic processes, design of shore protection projects,
and environmental permitting. Coastal engineering projects are designed
relative to natural oceanographic and geologic processes, and project
requirements (e.g., beach nourishment, coastal structures, dredging at
offshore sand borrow sites) may result in adverse environmental impacts
relative to existing conditions. Applied Coastal personnel perform
detailed analyses of coastal processes data sets to evaluate potential
environmental impacts and propose alternative designs and mitigation
strategies to produce sound project solutions. Advanced techniques
needed for coastal structure, beach nourishment, channel dredging, inlet
structure, or marina/harbor design are employed routinely by Applied
Coastal's technical staff. Our interdisciplinary capabilities in all
phases of project implementation, from feasibility analyses through
post-construction monitoring, ensure well-designed projects at
consistently high standards. State-of-science analysis techniques for
coastal project evaluation and design include quantifying coastal
processes and morphologic change, as well as numerical modeling of
waves, sediment transport, estuarine and wetland hydrodynamics/water
quality, and storm surge.
Through an in-depth understanding of site-specific
coastal processes, Applied Coastal personnel are able to evaluate viable
alternatives and design appropriate solutions. Additionally, the
technical staff at Applied Coastal provide the credibility necessary to
satisfy environmental permitting requirements at the local, State, and
Federal levels.
