Waterfront site design, start to finish.

WEDC evaluates and prepares site plans, design specifications and drawings for the construction of maritime projects: shoreline restoration and erosion control, channel dredging, residential piers and commercial marinas, as well as retaining walls, jetties, stormwater management systems, sediment and erosion control plans, and building permits.

The firm works for individual, commercial and public-sector clients — and handles the entire permitting process, so the experience stays hassle-free from the first site visit to the final approval.
