Bulkheads, Seawalls, and Revetments

With the onset of global warming contributing to rising sea levels, coastal erosion is a growing concern. TranSystems works with clients to develop barriers – bulkheads, seawalls, and revetments – to protect the land on or near our project sites.

TranSystems brings to each project a thorough understanding of varying marine and shore-side environments, including tides, currents, and wind and wave conditions. We also strive to remain current in local, state, and federal regulatory/permitting requirements that impact marine projects.

Our staff produces quality plans, specifications, and engineer’s cost estimates, ready for bidding and construction. We utilize a classic approach to engineering assignments:

► Define the problem
► Collect existing data pertaining to the problem
► Apply engineering principles, materials, and creative ideas to execute solutions

Yet, we remain flexible and responsive to unforeseen challenges, addressing them with innovative forward-thinking solutions.
