Safe and Sound

Safe vessel navigation, efficient layout and reduced maintenance costs are hallmarks of sound port and harbor design. AMI is providing solutions through reliable engineering rooted in science, constructability, and our expertise.

With a team of professional engineers, engineer-divers and highly qualified technicians, all with years of experience in the development of marine civil engineering projects, AMI offers clients a complete package. With our state-of the-art equipment and unique services, AMI is at the forefront of marine civil engineering projects that are diverse in nature in both topside and underwater environments throughout the U.S. and abroad.

Work Hard, Play Hard

Waterfronts and marinas are hardworking hubs of economic activity. The people who work and play in these environments are the reason resilient amenities for recreational, urban and commercial waterfronts is at the core of what we do.

AMI’s focus is to create a vibrant and profitable leisure destination with long-term commercial viability for our clients. We create value by helping marinas maximize their commercial potential at any stage in the facility lifecycle. Our team of marine specialists offer services and advice on all aspects of marina and waterfront property development including master planning, comprehensive and complete design, project management, market analysis, scientific and environmental planning, health and safety, mooring, turning, berthing and efficiency studies, as well as cost estimating, public planning and stakeholder charrette.

Streamlining the Process

Downtime is money, and early detection and mitigation of issues is critical when it comes to industrial facilities. A streamlined process for implementing production changes keeps operations moving.

Many of the experts at AMI have worked in the heavy industrial, agricultural and mining markets they now serve, giving them a unique perspective to assist on industrial projects. When you manage an industrial facility, you need consultants who understand your challenges. The AMI staff approach each project with creative solutions to your most difficult problems.  Structural inspections are a critical part of facility maintenance to avoid costly downtime through early detection of problems.  The AMI engineering and technical staff are highly trained inspectors with many specialty certifications to ensure projects are completed correctly.

Building your Vision

Every building project starts with the need for a solid visual concept, budget and design. When stakeholders invest in a new building project or the remediation of an existing space, completing the project within budget is critical to its success. Selecting the right consultant team is the first step in the process to ensure overall success. The AMI team has a proven track record of successful projects throughout the U.S. Using the latest technology and software, AMI staff creates cost effective designs that are both innovative and energy efficient while capturing the unique visons and needs of the client. AMI is involved in every stage of the project, helping all team members through the process. Whether you require a turnkey design build solution or want to be involved in all aspects of the project through construction, our AMI team is here for you.

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.

Go with the Flow

Dams and levees are important infrastructure, creating water supply reservoirs, serving as storm water and flood control structures, hydroelectric generating facilities and creating recreation lakes. Many were constructed in the first half of the 20th century and are showing their age.

AMI has a wealth of experience in the evaluation and construction of improvements to existing earthen, rock fill, gravity dams, wing walls, aprons and scour protection structures. We take a measured approach to gather information needed by completing a full review of available project documents, comparison of applicable record drawings and historical design standards. We provide underwater and topside assessments, imaging, geotechnical and hydraulic investigations and material testing. We also provide remedial action recommendations and designs to correct structures that are degraded or do not meet current FERC or other design criteria and safety standards. Our team provides the practical and timely professional services to complete your project.
