AMI designed a 2,890 LF concrete seawall, stone revetment, and provided scientific assistance for the trail system for the severely damaged Canal Park shoreline. AMI’s design had to account for fluctuations in water levels, ice action, and redundancy in design for climate change scenarios. AMI completed all City, USACE, and DNR permitting; attended numerous meetings with the City of Duluth and completed climate conditions analysis; wave and impact analysis; and surcharge loading analysis.

AMI provided bathymetric and topographic surveys, side scan sonar surveys, Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) inspection and underwater commercial dive inspections. AMI also provided guidance on the armor stone sizing and design, boardwalk and concrete beams, erosion control measures, storm water design, and engineered additional solutions that regained the structural integrity of the coastal shoreline while working closely with TRC Companies and the City of Duluth. AMI provided construction oversight and inspections throughout the duration of the project.
