Waterfronts and marinas

Living, working and playing at the waterside is becoming an increasingly popular lifestyle choice. Divergent groups each with their own agenda want to take advantage of the waterfront experience and through their development experience DHV can bring together the needs of those parties and consolidate development opportunities.

Whether it concerns the realization of waterfronts, water sports areas, marinas or integrated coastal development areas, our primary focus is the interlinked relationship between water, land and the urban context.

Our dedicated “water-to-land” perspective has provided clients with the success factors for their waterfront development projects. We combine a broad range of disciplines into the bigger picture, such as:
 

  • functional zoning
  • layout and design of facilities and utilities
  • design of embankments and structures
  • hydraulic engineering and modeling
  • dredging strategies and breakwater design
