Maritime civil engineering is an extremely broad but specialised discipline within civil engineering. The coast is a highly complex and sensitive environment that is in a constant state of change. Wave, current and even tidal conditions can vary widely along short lengths of coastline and this means that substantial effort is required to define parameters for the design of coastal structures, coastal defences, ports and marinas. Maritime civil engineering encompasses wave and ocean sciences, geomorphology, geology, engineering design and a spectrum of other analytical skills.
Edenvale Young & Edenvale Young Associates can provide the following services:

Analysis of wave, current, tides, storm surge and extreme water levels for design purposes.
Analysis of wave refraction, diffraction, shoaling, breaking, wave overtopping, flooding and wave run up. Public Safety
Analysis of Littoral Drift Patterns of accretion and erosion and scour.
Environment
Opportunities for improvements and enhancement to the environment.
Economic Evaluation
The economic evaluation of damages and the cost of protecting sites from sea flooding. The preparation of Project Appraisal Studies for submission to DEFRA or WAG.
