COASTAL & RIVERINE

Shoring Up

Headquartered at the tip of Lake Superior, AMI operates from the heart of the Midwest while continuing to expand our reach across the United States and internationally. Our broad national and global project experience equips us to successfully execute any intercoastal or coastal engineering assessment or design effort.

AMI delivers a comprehensive suite of marine civil, coastal, and structural engineering services, supported by robust scientific capabilities. Our work spans the full project lifecycle—from initial field investigations and data collection to shoreline and wave modeling, detailed engineering design, and complete bidding and construction management services that ensure every project is built correctly and efficiently.

We leverage industry‑leading software, advanced scientific tools, and a highly experienced team that understands the complexities of marine and coastal environments. This combination allows us to design resilient, long‑lasting solutions tailored to the unique conditions in which waterfront and coastal structures are built.
