CLIMATE CHANGE AND COASTAL RESILIENCE
Whether clients are reimagining current coastal spaces or designing and engineering new marine and coastal projects, they must adapt to changing climate patterns while meeting the needs of fast-growing coastal populations and creating resilient infrastructure to support global trade and foster vibrant communities.
ATM, a Geosyntec Company, helps clients address risks, balance costs and benefits, and consider impacts on the environment, communities, and property owners. Across our service areas, we integrate a consideration of coastal resilience to help clients prepare for hazards, adapt to changing conditions, and recover from severe weather events. In this way, we support them as they create enduring spaces that meet their business goals and enrich the lives of visitors, residents, and workers.

Resilient Coastal Structures
Working in tandem with sound coastal engineering principles, designing resilient and innovative coastal and marine structures is crucial to coastal management and flood and erosion protection. Read more about our marine structural engineering services.
Market Research that Informs Planning and Design
Our practitioners incorporate feasibility studies, market research, financial planning, and engineering considerations into each design. This approach factors in cost, function, constructability, and construction sequencing to choose the best design and method to achieve it. In addition, we monitor market trends, marina operations, environmental impact, and sustainable integration throughout a project’s life cycle.
