The planning, design, construction and maintenance of marine structures require a variety of specialized engineering services. A wide range of structural types, severe environmental conditions, and rapid degradation of materials present many challenges to the owner and designer of marine facilities. GZA offers the experience and resources to meet the challenge of designing and maintaining structures in this coastal environment.
GZA’s Structural Engineers perform structural analysis and design of waterfront structures (both new and rehabilitation projects), including:
- Piers, Wharves and Bulkheads
- Shipyard Facilities
- Ferry Terminals, Docks and Landings
- Seawalls and Revetments
- Flood Walls and Levees
- Relieving Platforms
- Boardwalks
- Crane Rail Foundations
- Cellular and Braced Cofferdams
- Outfalls

GZA staff includes a team of highly skilled engineers who specialize in the inspection of marine and hydraulic structures. Their experience includes the inspection of dams, cofferdams, bulkheads, piers and wharves, dry docks and other marine facilities. Destructive and non-destructive testing can be performed on timber, concrete and steel structures with photographic and video verification.
