DESIGN

At Childs Engineering, our engineers bring extensive expertise in the design of repairs and new waterfront structures, typically following on from our inspections. The same professionals who perform the inspections carry their in-depth knowledge into the design phase, ensuring a seamless transition from assessment to completion. 

Since 1970, we’ve designed nearly every type of coastal and waterfront structures, including piers, wharves, seawalls, and marinas. We focus on understanding our clients’ goals to deliver practical, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions. 

Using technology such as 3D modeling and structural analysis software, mooring and berthing simulation, and detailed hydrographic and geotechnical surveys, we ensure every design is informed, precise, and built to last.
