Dewberry is experienced in the complex challenges involved in marine repair/rehabilitation/design projects, in particular the impact on the environment both above and below the water and in providing increased public access to the waterfront. Dewberry provides inspection, environmental impact studies, engineering design, and construction administration for marine/waterfront structures including piers, pier buildings, ferry terminals, marina, waterfront parks, and bulkheads. Our structural engineers apply real-world experience to these often unique and historic structures.
