Coastal Engineering Environmental Support
Coastal engineering projects — including breakwaters, seawalls, revetments, marinas, jetties, and land reclamation — have significant potential to affect coastal and marine environments. QRS provides the specialist environmental science support needed to ensure these projects are designed, approved and constructed with minimal environmental impact.
Our interdisciplinary team of marine ecologists, coastal scientists and environmental consultants work alongside engineering teams to integrate environmental considerations from the earliest stages of project planning, reducing the risk of costly delays and rework.
Our Service Scope
Environmental Baseline Study
Comprehensive baseline characterisation of coastal habitats, ecology, water quality and physical processes.
Coastal EIA
Environmental Impact Assessment for coastal engineering and infrastructure development projects.
Shoreline Change Assessment
Analysis of historical and predicted shoreline erosion, accretion and morphological change.
Sediment Transport Modelling
Numerical modelling of sediment transport and dispersal to assess dredging and reclamation impacts.
Construction Environmental Monitoring
Real-time and scheduled environmental monitoring during construction to ensure compliance with permit conditions.
Habitat Compensation Design
Design of habitat creation and compensation measures to offset unavoidable impacts on coastal ecosystems.
Our Deliverables
Every QRS engagement concludes with a comprehensive set of clear, professional deliverables designed to meet regulatory requirements and drive informed decision-making.
