SOLUTIONS FOR:

Balancing the economy and environment.

Ports, harbors and other U.S. maritime interests are in a balancing act between a rapidly growing global economy and increased priority placed on sound environmental stewardship. The result is capital investment in facilities planning and expansion in an atmosphere of broadening environmental regulation. The volume of international trade is expected to double by 2020, so forward-looking businesses and industries are working now to get ahead of the curve.

Our Approach

Malcolm Pirnie takes a proactive approach to coastal management that allows your facility or organization to analyze, control and improve the environmental consequences of its activities. This can provide such benefits as improved overall environmental performance (including areas not currently regulated), expanded pollution prevention opportunities, improved compliance, and enhanced operational control and efficiency.

Our team of environmental scientists, hydrologists, and design engineers provides a comprehensive range of services to facilitate development within the coastal zone. These services include field assessments and studies, permitting, modeling, and design to provide for the protection, conservation, rehabilitation and management of the coastal environment.

We are responsive to your needs and those of all your stakeholders. By using frequent communication, we can pass along our efficiencies to you in the form of shorter project delivery schedules and cost savings.

The result is a project that promotes economic growth while protecting the coastal environment — and that comes in on-time and on-budget.
