COASTAL & RIVERINE

Shoring up

Coastal and riverine projects are essential to recreational activities and habitat connectivity. The high utilization of these shorelines requires resilient designs. All plausible environmental factors and scenarios must be considered, and compatibility found between human use, the natural elements and the changing climate.

AMI uses state-of-the-art software coupled with an experienced professional engineering staff to develop solutions tailored for each client's need. AMI specializes in all aspects of coastal engineering and serves the private, commercial, tribal, municipal and government sectors. From AMI's experience, coastal solutions pose unique challenges. The designs typically need to be attractive, functional, constructible, cost-effective, resilient and environmentally sustainable. The design must take into account coastal processes, including the effects of frequent severe storms, varying water levels, winds, tides, seiche, currents and climate change scenarios.
