Beach Creation

An important part of our region’s natural landscape and so essential to our tourism product, beaches are central to our socio-economic well-being. But not all beaches are created equal and it may be a surprise to learn that many “natural” beaches have man-made aspects. We must often work with nature to make the beaches better: wider, cleaner, and more resilient to storms and climate change.

Through science, engineering and a love for the sea we build beaches, sometimes along rocky shorelines and sometimes just to enhance their natural features. Nature’s ebb and flow, beaches shifting and eroding at will are an inconvenience we try to reasonably contain. Through rigorous investigations of the natural processes, we develop the right solutions to improve the resilience of our shorelines. We build with confidence and with the utmost respect for the environment, recognizing that the natural environment is an asset we must respect and preserve.

Coastal Protection

Breakwaters, Groynes & Revetments

We incorporate climate change projections and scenarios into all of our designs. As sea surface temperatures rise, we have been witnessing the effects of this with more frequent Category 4 and 5 hurricanes. These storms have had devastating impacts on coastal infrastructure across the region. We engineer and build resilient coastal protection by specifying economic and fit-for-purpose solutions.

A seawall might be right for an elevated coastal road, but a rock revetment might be the perfect solution for property fronted by a sandy shoreline. And what about building breakwaters to reduce the waves from offshore and allowing the natural shoreline to be the 2nd line of defence? Building a marina is likely going to require groyne or a breakwater. We will build the breakwater and then the piers and docks.
Our team has designed and/or built structures on almost every Caribbean island. Our experience allows us to identify potential hiccups from the early stages of the project and find innovative resolutions. We understand the various environmental regulations and know how to meet international design specifications and tolerances. Our design-build philosophy is to build for function, form and financial feasibility in a sensitive environment.

Jetties & Piers

For recreation, fishing or international trade, jetties and piers are our gateways to the ocean. Whether it’s a jetty to launch a catamaran trip, docks for mega yachts or berths for fishing vessels, we apply our innovative techniques to build cost-effective solutions. Our different piling solutions offer flexibility and rapid response to a variety of development needs.

We develop the engineering in-house and we couple this expertise with our experience and know-how to be cost-effective, efficient and appropriate. We have our own equipment (barge, tug, crane, dredge, excavators, loaders, etc.) fully capable for work throughout the Caribbean.

Marine Piling

We specialize inVinyl Sheet Pile installation to stabilize land/water margins, where their high resistance to corrosion and long life make an ideal solution in Caribbean waters, where corrosion is rampant, due to the combination of high water temperatures and highly active marine organisms.

Sand Supply & Nourishment

We supply the right sand for beach enhancement or new beach development. Not all sand is appropriate for beach improvement and, in fact, the wrong type of sand can lead to more beach erosion. The right grain size is critical for long-term beach stability, the right colour is important for marketing, and the texture and feel can impact guest experience and turtle nesting. We only supply from locations that are licensed for export from Guyana and the Bahamas and we will make sure we get the quality most appropriate for your beach.

Dredging

Whether it is dredging for beach sand, or creation of an access channel to a marina, or maintenance of a canal or berthing area, or laying an outfall pipe to sea, we offer innovative dredging solutions. We offer hydraulic or mechanical dredge options for nearshore and shoreline applications.
