Marina design and waterfront projects face complex challenges involving environmental and regulatory compliance, hydrodynamic and geotechnical challenges, and considerations for market and business analysis. Our comprehensive approach integrates nature based solutions and marina market, business, and planning analyses with environmental studies, coastal engineering, and marina procurement expertise to produce a sustainable solution.
Geosyntec’s engineers and scientists have worked on more than two thousand marina and waterfront projects and consistently create market-sensitive designs that maximize return on investment and stand as benchmark facilities in the industry. Our practitioners address challenges produced by rising sea levels and climate change to accelerate coastal restoration and protection.
Marina Design
When designing a marina master plan, we consider factors such as site assessment, permitting, construction, finances, and maintenance to build projects that are economically sound, operationally effective, and resilient. Our unique planning and design solutions integrate our marinas with their surrounding upland components and distinguish them as benchmark facilities.Clients benefit from our extensive experience with coastal engineering. They seek us out to address issues such as erosion, flooding, and wave action. In addition, we conduct environmental impact studies to analyze potential threats to marinas, water quality, marine life, and sensitive ecosystems.
Cruise Industry Support
The cruise industry is one of the fastest-growing segments of tourism, and Geosyntec is at the cutting edge of this industry development. Geosyntec and its team of specialists have been involved in some of the largest cruise terminal projects for regional and international cruise lines in the Middle East, Caribbean, and beyond.
