Eco-Friendly Engineering Solutions

Our projects leverage cutting-edge, eco-friendly materials and methodologies designed to minimize environmental impact. This approach is evident in our work at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, where we've undertaken significant enhancements without disrupting the natural order.

Enhancing Access While Protecting Ecosystems

At North and South Manitou Islands, our new dock designs exemplify our dual commitment to accessibility and environmental preservation. The docks improve boat access and accommodate natural processes such as littoral drift and sedimentation. These considerations ensure that our infrastructure works with rather than against nature’s systems.

Responsible Planning and Material Use

Selecting the optimal location for these docks involved comprehensive environmental assessments, including topographical and bathymetric surveys, wetland delineations, and surveys for threatened and endangered species. By using environmentally safe materials, these structures are more resilient and reduce the need for interventions like regular maintenance dredging, which can be disruptive to aquatic habitats.
