Sea wall improvements on the coast of
GuyanaCoastal
Understanding geology, geomorphology and coastal processes are
crucial for tackling the unique challenges faced by coastal areas.
Mott MacDonald has extensive experience in assessing the issues
arising at the coastline in order to produce viable, affordable and
sustainable solutions.
Historical morphological change of Gualan Island,
Western Isles, UKWe have carried out numerous desk
studies, cliff inspections and walk-over surveys in order to
ascertain the nature of a coastline, its history, prevailing
conditions and potential evolution. Analysis of the information
gathered enables implementation of project focused studies –
including the production of ground models, recession rate analyses,
cliff behaviour studies and beach dynamic models. The coastal team
have designed flood defence and coastal protection structures for
scheme development. Mott MacDonald has recently worked in the UK,
in North Norfolk, the Sussex coast and the Western Isles, and
overseas in Libya and Guyana. We have provided project appraisal
reports to support grant aid applications for coastal defence
funding and have a full understanding of Defra policy and
guidelines.
Maritime
Mott MacDonald Coastal specialists review ongoing
works at Sirte Port, LibyaThe investigation and analysis
of geotech-nical conditions in the marine environment requires
skills in planning, and an appreciation of the demands and
constraints of marine working. Experience and technical knowledge
of geotechnics and engineering geology are essential.
Concept design of preferred layout of the
expanded Sirte Port, LibyaMott MacDonald has extensive
experience in the procurement and supervision of offshore ground
investigations and the design and construction of various marine
structures. We have worked on port developments in Ireland, South
Africa and Libya with responsibilities for procuring, managing,
supervising and analysing ground investigations and undertaking
research on the potential coastal impact of construction, and the
likely impact of future coastal evolution on new structures.
As part of our work on the proposed Brighton and Hove Waste Water
Treatment Scheme we managed the ground investigation for the design
of the 3km long sea outfall and the various issues arising from
coastal erosion scenarios.
