Coastal & Riverine Engineering

By studying a region's hydrologic and ecologic features, as well as its social, cultural and economical characteristics, Fenstermaker's engineers can provide smart solutions on all water resource projects, no matter how complex. Ranging from the coastal regions of the country to inland waterways, our skilled teams are capable of using sound engineering principles to produce viable solutions for every coastal and riverine engineering project.

Knowledgeable about the uniqueness and complexity of the hydrologic characteristics of coastal wetlands and inland water systems, Fenstermaker has completed many numerical model studies, including freshwater diversion and coastal restoration structures. These projects involved the modeling of cavitation potential, ice and debris jams, and hydrodynamic and sediment transport processes, and the dynamic loading on water control structures. Furthermore, with extensive experience in applying non-parametric statistical methods in analyses, hydrology and water resources, quality control of hydrologic and meteorological instruments, and radar-rainfall products, we can offer foresight into the project's outcome, saving the client time and money by improving the overall success of the project.
