Coastal Engineering

KCI’s impactful coastal engineering and resiliency services support the conservation of waterfront communities and facilities.

Our team has extensive experience in managing flood risks, restoring and mitigating coastal environments, overseeing dredged material operations, and redeveloping compromised infrastructure. Our engineers and scientists understand the dynamics and interdependencies of the physical and ecological functions that are critical to the development of sustainable, resilient solutions, bringing the system back to balance while protecting critical assets and people. We understand the complex environment where land meets water and provide solutions for shoreline protection, waterfront redevelopment, ecosystem restoration, flood risk management, and dredged material management. Additionally, we are highly proficient in mitigating complex permitting processes and ensuring full compliance with environmental regulations, including NEPA and FEMA requirements. With a record of securing approvals, we provide comprehensive support for projects in federally and state-regulated coastal environments.

With a broad understanding of the natural forces and ecological systems that shape waterfront environments, KCI’s coastal engineers deliver solutions that are both resilient and environmentally responsible, contributing tailored solutions for projects of every size and scope.
