Coastal Engineering

CCS can provide solutions to any aspect of coastal engineering. We can assist with the following services:

  • Numerical Modelling – modelling of complex coastal processes.

  • Extreme Value Analysis – Statistical analysis of extreme tides and waves

  • Wave Loading – The estimation of wave loads on coastal structures

  • Coastal Defence – The design of coastal defences. Beach nourishment, geotextile sand bag defences and sea walls.

  • Morphology – Analysis of coastal morphology using empirical and process based modelling (Delft 3D, XBeach, SBeach, in-house developed 1-line models). Estimation of coastal erosion.

  • Setback lines – The establishment of setback lines and the estimation of inundation risk

  • Overtopping and Wave Run-up – Estimating the overtopping of coastal infrastructure

  • Water Quality – Analysis of water quality, residence time, flushing and dispersion.

If you have a coastal project please contact us.

Numerical Modelling

CCS can deal with all your coastal and hydrodynamic numerical modelling requirements. Our expertise include:

  • Wave Modelling – Spectral wave and boussinesq

  • 2D and 3D Hydrodynamic Modelling – Ocean currents, rivers and estuaries

  • Sediment Transport Modelling – Longshore, cross-shore and 2D

  • Water Quality Modelling – Outfall discharges, oil spills, dredge plumes and plastic tracking

If you have numerical modelling requirements please contact us.

Research

CCS has it’s roots in academia. We can plan, develop the methods and design the experiments required to solve your problems.

We can offer:

  • Laboratory Experiments – Design and execute laboratory experiences

  • Literature Reviews – Review past research and identify relevant solutions to further develop

  • Students – We can identify and contract competent and capable students to undertake your research cost effectively

Have a look at our collection of past publications to see our variety of expertise.
