Marine & Coastal

New Zealanders and the people of the Pacific have a unique bond with the sea. It is part of us; it’s in our DNA. Because of this, we place a high value on sites near the sea.

Projects in New Zealand’s coastal regions are highly complex. Working in such sensitive and dynamic environments requires a unique skill set and a level of understanding that goes far beyond the basic principles of engineering. Here at Airey, we relish the opportunities these sites bring and the chance to create sustainable and inspiring environments.

Airey have over 30 years of experience in the development of New Zealand’s most iconic waterway developments and marinas. We have the skills and experience to manage and mitigate the impacts of these developments. Our structural and civil engineering teams work closely to optimise solutions in pursuit of cost, constructability and long-term durability.

We offer full civil and structural engineering services for marina and canal developments, including:

In recent years, local and central government and insurance companies have become increasingly aware of the risks posed by coastal erosion and coastal inundation. Our engineers can undertake coastal hazard assessments to support consent applications and design solutions to manage these risks. We also have substantial civil and structural experience with waterfront properties and the challenges and opportunities that come with such sites.

“Creating, sequencing and designing coastal and seafront developments brings a unique set of complex challenges. Airey have been dealing with these challenges for over 30 years.”
