Construction Administration for
Marine & Waterfront Projects
Ocean Consulting provides expert oversight and management for marine, coastal, and waterfront construction projects, ensuring design accuracy, compliance, and quality from start to finish.
The Role of Construction Administration in Waterfront Projects
For marine and waterfront work, construction risks are higher: shifting tides, tidal loads, erosion, permit constraints, environmental sensitivity, and structural tolerance. Effective construction administration ensures the project is built as intended, minimizes change orders or rework, and protects your investment. Ocean Consulting’s team brings deep experience in coastal engineering, marine permitting, and environmental monitoring to ensure your project is built reliably and resiliently.
