Coastal and Harbour engineering

Experience in coastal and harbour engineering

INCAT covers the full range of coastal and harbour engineering, from ocean and estuarine environmental studies to construction projects including urban planning of coastal areas and environmental impact studies.

We have carried out projects in more than 100 locations, both in the Atlantic and  the Mediterranean coasts.

PLANNING

• Cargo ports
• Passenger terminals
• Fishing harbors
• Urban planning of maritime areas

COASTAL ENGINEERING

• Wave climate studies
• Hydrodynamic studies
• Coastal restoration
• Beach nourishment
• Harbor hydrodynamics

MARINA DESIGN

• Conceptual design
• Feasibility studies
• Basic projects
• Construction projects
• Marina Architecture
• Consultancy in marina operation

CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

• Maritime infrastructure
• Interior works
• Port buildings
• Warehouses

Technology for coastal and harbour engineering

From the beginning of our activity we have been using the latest technology. This effort has been specially important in the field of marine engineering, where we have all the advances in numerical simulation and on site investigation.

NUMERICAL MODELLING AND SIMULATION

• Ocean and coastal circulation
• Estuarine and tidal currents
• Wave climate
• Wave generation and propagation
• Wave – structure interaction
• Basin oscillation validation
• Sediment transport
• Behavior of beach profiles
• Long term analysis of beach equilibrium
• Breakwater analysis and design
• Simulation of floating breakwaters
