Expertise
Coastal Engineering
Coastal areas face increasing pressures from development, climate change, and sea level rise, requiring a strong understanding of coastal processes. For over 20 years, NHC's in-house coastal engineers and geomorphology specialists have delivered expert solutions across coastal, river, and estuarine environments.
We understand the interconnected processes of waves, hydrodynamics, climate change, and sedimentation, enabling us to develop effective solutions for coastal and estuarine challenges.
Coastal Engineering
We focus on understanding, analyzing, and designing for estuarine and coastal processes, including tides, waves, currents, and shoreline ecosystems and interactions. Our services include:
- Metocean Studies
- Shoreline Protection and Breakwater Design
- Sediment Transport and Erosion Assessments
- Harbour Agitation and Harbour Resonance Analysis
- Design and Optimization of Harbour Layouts
- Dredging Design and Management
- Wave Modelling (both phase averaged and phase resolving, as appropriate)
- Hydrodynamic Modelling (Water Quality, Tides and Currents, Storm Surges)
- Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis of wave-structure interaction
- Wave runup and overtopping analysis
- Flood Mapping and determination of coastal Flood Construction Levels
- Climate Change and Sea Level Rise impact studies
