Seawall Engineering
Seawalls are a critical component of shoreline protection. They help stabilize waterfront edges, reduce erosion, and protect upland property, infrastructure, and public access areas from wave action, storm surge, and long-term shoreline retreat.
KCI, formerly McLaren Engineering Group, provides seawall inspection, engineering design, rehabilitation, and replacement services for waterfront owners, developers, institutions, and public agencies. Our approach draws on integrated coastal, structural, and geotechnical engineering to deliver durable, constructible solutions for complex marine environments.
Evaluated the granite stone-faced seawall and completed underwater and topside investigations of the pier, then developed repair plans including localized fixes and a full deck replacement to improve structural integrity and resilience, while coordinating with NYCDEC and USACE to support environmental and regulatory compliance.
