Rodney Bay Marina, St. Lucia, Lesser Antilles
« All Projects

Project Objective

Geosyntec planned and managed a comprehensive marina redevelopment with berthing for 32 megayachts up to 250 feet in length and approximately 230 smaller vessels in the 40-to-60-foot class.

Scope of Services

Our work on this comprehensive marina redevelopment project began with a detailed due diligence assessment and participation in the purchase negotiations for the property. We created an aggressive redevelopment program comprising detailed marina planning, an environmental impact assessment (EIA), and marina engineering design elements including fixed piers, floating docks, shoreline stabilization (revetment and sheet-pile bulkhead), marina utilities, and dredging work.

Upon completion of the engineering design phase, we compiled a comprehensive bid package for the construction works, facilitated the bidding process, and participated in contract negotiations between the client and the selected contractors. Construction-phase services included shop-drawing review, site inspection, and payment application review/certification. Construction of the project was completed on schedule to accommodate vessels during the annual Atlantic Rally for Cruisers regatta, the world’s largest transocean sailing event.

Notable Accomplishments

Rodney Bay Marina is considered one of the premier marina facilities in the Windward Islands and provides safe, reliable dockage for the people of St. Lucia, as well as for visitors to this island destination.

Note: At the time of this project, Geosyntec practitioners were contracted as ATM, which was acquired by Geosyntec.
