Maritime Infrastructure
Our maritime infrastructure team has 40 years of experience and a reputation for providing clients with innovative and cost-effective solutions. Our dedicated team of specialist engineers, environmental scientists and planners manage maritime developments from inception to completion. We deliver technical excellence and value engineering at all stages of development to streamline process and meet the unique needs of our clients.
Engineering workable solutions to complex issues
With our broad range of technical and planning expertise we provide fully integrated multi-model port solutions, linking maritime developments with other transport modes.
Our team holds deep expertise in all aspects of port infrastructure development including quays, jetties, dredging and breakwaters. We specialise in port operations and vessel management including dynamic vessel motion modelling, which predicts mooring loads and vessel motions in a system when exposed to wave, wind and current conditions.
We use computational modelling coupled with our expertise in physical ocean conditions (hydrodynamic, wave and metrological conditions) to optimise berth alignment, mooring design, and operational procedures.
