Coastal and Dredging Geotechnical Engineering
Coastal Restoration
AME has considerable experience in the coastal realm, including marsh restoration, shoreline protection, and beach nourishment projects to name a few. Our expert analyses include ECD assessments for stability, settlement, bearing capacity, and geotextile use. Other analyses we provide includes sheetpile closure, borrow area classification, marsh fill settlement, beach nourishment, and geotextile use.
Dredge Material Classification Services
If there is a lack of data or a change in conditions when dredging, we can assist with adapting to changing conditions by field testing and re-analyzing the data for reliable results. We provide services to owners, consultants, and dredging contractors for design, bidding, and construction phases.
