Coastal Protection & Waterways Management

Coastal Protection & Waterways Management

Coastal erosion is the wearing away of land and the removal of beach or dune sediments by wave action, tidal currents, or drainage and storm water runoff.  Erosion has been a long standing issue for many coastal and waterfront communities across the country.  Many coastal areas are facing chronic long-term shoreline erosion problems while continually being threatened with increased storm occurrence and rising sea levels.   Recent studies have shown that the average erosion rates are upwards of 6 feet per year in and along the Gulf and 3 feet per year along the Atlantic Ocean.

Maccaferri's extensive experience in hydrodynamics and erosion protection originated in the 1890's and continues to be on the leading edge of engineering solutions.   Maccaferri offers a range of protection systems from soft to hard armoring, foundation mattresses and scour protection, and pipeline/cable protection.  

Maccaferri's coastal protection and waterways maintenance products are designed to offer environmentally sound solutions with minimal maintenance.   Maccaferri's technical staff works with you to develop the best design and solution for your project and offers products that are durable, easy to install, and save time and money.
