Port planning and design transformed

Our team combines worldwide knowledge with local project delivery to design economically viable and environmentally sustainable ports and marine terminals.

We can help you with your master planning, project management, design, geotechnical engineering, sustainability, and resiliency needs. We also manage permitting/regulatory approvals for container, general cargo, dry bulk, oil and gas, cruise, ferry, defence installations, and small craft harbour facilities.

By combining the expertise of our multidisciplinary planners, scientists, and engineers, we can create seamless solutions for waterfront developments or the revitalisation of existing sites. We can help you with everything from port expansion to harbour deepening, dredge material management, and environmental impact assessments.

From enhancing port profitability to integrating port activities with innovative information systems, we’re focused on resilient, economical, bottom-line solutions.

We helped create an efficient, reliable, and climate-resilient port to keep Nauru connected with the rest of the world. Read More
