Structures

The Waterfront Engineering group leverages specialized skills and advanced design tools to address the unique requirements of marine structural design and engineering projects. The group includes coastal and water resources engineers with experience in the assessment of environmental loads — wind, waves, currents, and tidal forces — common to marine structures. Working in conjunction with structural engineers well versed in a range of materials — steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, and composites — the team continually produces cost-effective, robust, and serviceable, custom-designed products for site-specific marine conditions. Taylor Engineering’s experience in the complex challenges associated with marine structures engineering has proven invaluable in the success of numerous waterfront engineering projects.
