From Ship to Shore
Point of View
Impeccable field investigations distinguish our work on technically demanding, environmentally sensitive waterfront facilities.
Public ports, federal agencies, transportation departments and the military share the need for engineering solutions that demonstrate respect for and understanding of the dynamic conditions and physical challenges of designing facilities at the water’s edge. The electrical, mechanical, fire protection and technology needs of marine vessels off shore add to the complexity of providing relevant solutions. Up front rigor paves the way to engineering excellence in the marine market space.
