Engineered coastal structures provide the robust protection needed when natural or hybrid solutions alone aren’t enough. Our coastal engineers design, analyze, and rehabilitate breakwaters, seawalls, jetties, revetments, and other shoreline defense structures that safeguard communities and infrastructure from waves, erosion, and storm surges.
Backed by decades of marine and coastal engineering expertise, KCI, formerly McLaren Engineering Group, delivers durable, constructible solutions that withstand harsh marine environments and strengthen long-term coastal resiliency.

Coastal Structures
Our engineers combine advanced hydrodynamic modeling, material science, and structural analysis to design structures built for longevity and performance. We prioritize durability, functionality, and constructability to protect critical assets and waterfront communities against rising seal levels and increasing coastal hazards.
