Martens has experience in a wide range of coastal engineering projects involving open-ocean, estuarine, lagoon and coastal river system environments. We undertake investigations and provide engineering design solutions for coastal developments at varying scales ranging from ‘home-owner’ level (including pontoons, slipways, boat sheds, jetties, and retaining walls), through to larger scale investigations (such as estuary management, coastal flooding and inlet management schemes).
Our key service areas include:
- Estuarine processes
- Hydrodynamic survey
- Hydrodynamic modelling
- Salinity modelling
- Pollutant dispersal
- Stratigraphic survey and testing
- Sedimentation processes
- Coastal hazards
- Coastal erosion and hazard definition
- Environmental risk and impact assessment
- Coastal flooding and inundation modelling
- Risk mitigation
- Coastal management
- Coastal planning levels
- Risk management
- Sea level rise impact assessment
Structures and activities for which we provide design and investigation services include:
- Seawalls
- Marinas
- Revetments
- Groynes
- Breakwaters
- Training walls
- Beach nourishment
- Dune reconstruction
- Configuration dredging
