Building within the limits a reef sets
On reef systems the environmental constraints are not a separate approvals exercise running alongside the engineering. They set the method. Where the works sit relative to living coral, how much sediment the water column…

What survey data settles before design begins
Most of the risk in a coastal project is decided before any design work starts, in the quality and coverage of the survey behind it. Bathymetry, topography and ground conditions set the boundaries within…
