Urban Waterfronts <strong>and</strong> Marinas<br />
Today’s waterfronts are catalysts of economic activity. <strong>Moffatt</strong> & <strong>Nichol</strong>’s<br />
waterfront <strong>and</strong> marina practice was established in the 1960s as recreational<br />
boating rose in popularity. Since then, the firm has continued to play a key role<br />
in the development of waterfronts worldwide. Our planning <strong>and</strong> design experience<br />
in the marine environment enables us to create sustainable infrastructure<br />
<strong>and</strong> innovative <strong>and</strong> award-winning solutions to the challenges involved in<br />
developing the world’s coastlines <strong>and</strong> waterways.<br />
Energy<br />
<strong>Moffatt</strong> & <strong>Nichol</strong>, building on its varied expertise in waterfront-related planning<br />
<strong>and</strong> design, established a marine engineering group to address the specific<br />
offshore <strong>and</strong> near-shore marine terminal needs of the oil <strong>and</strong> gas industry. Today,<br />
that practice has spread globally <strong>and</strong> involves projects ranging from piers<br />
<strong>and</strong> wharves to deep foundations, offshore platforms, fixed <strong>and</strong> floating liquid<br />
bulk <strong>and</strong> LNG terminals, berths, pipeline trestles, <strong>and</strong> offshore mooring <strong>and</strong><br />
fendering systems.<br />
Our capabilities, which include a full suite of services from conceptual design<br />
to final design <strong>and</strong> construction support, along with our unmatched domestic<br />
<strong>and</strong> global experience, is trusted by clients worldwide. Our comprehensive<br />
marine engineering services include navigation studies, vessel maneuvering,<br />
regulatory compliance <strong>and</strong> permitting support, <strong>and</strong> coastal, civil, structural,<br />
mechanical <strong>and</strong> electrical engineering services. Our engineers use the latest,<br />
sophisticated modelling techniques <strong>and</strong> state-of-the-art software to analyze a<br />
wide range of marine structures. In addition, our simulation <strong>and</strong> risk analysis<br />
capabilities allow us to perform stochastic, time domain simulations of marine<br />
transportation <strong>and</strong> operations systems to evaluate all aspects of marine facilities.<br />
Waterfront Facilities’ Inspection & Rehabilitation<br />
<strong>Moffatt</strong> & <strong>Nichol</strong>, internationally recognized experts in waterfront structural<br />
engineering <strong>and</strong> marine construction, provides clients with engineering services<br />
for existing marine structures, bridges <strong>and</strong> other engineered structures for port,<br />
military, <strong>and</strong> transportation clients. The firm offers clients service life/durability<br />
modeling capabilities to provide significant added value to projects including,<br />
quantification of remaining service life; optimization of preservation strategies<br />
to achieve specific service life goals; analyzing service life implications of construction<br />
variances; <strong>and</strong> estimation of service life for new structures. All services<br />
are conducted by registered engineers <strong>and</strong> engineer-divers who underst<strong>and</strong> the<br />
structural significance of observed conditions <strong>and</strong> compile reports from collected<br />
data, <strong>and</strong> provide effective engineered solutions for cost-conscious clients.<br />
