Wave Action Guides Coastal Features
HARBOR TRANQUILITY WAVE MODELING
Hydrodynamic modeling is critical to developing resilient marine and coastal infrastructure. Waves are ever-present along the coast and often present difficulties to both construction and recreation. Modeling the wave conditions at the project site provides insight into the effects of coastal infrastructure on near-shore wave conditions.
Using specialty coastal modeling software, our well-trained team is capable of modeling wave action in a variety of lacustrine, coastal, and estuarine environments.
BENEFITS OF WAVE MODELING
Accuracy: Ensures that designs for marine and coastal infrastructure account for the proper loadings, reducing the risk of failure
Compliance: Provides insight into the impacts of near-shore structures for use in regulatory compliance
Validation: Confirms that the proposed design has the intended impacts on the local environment and ecosystem
COMMON APPLICATIONS OF WAVE MODELING
Determine wave-induced structural loads
Validation of safe harbor requirements for recreational and commercial vessels
Identify areas with coastal flooding impacts
