Continuing Professional Architectural and Engineering Consulting Services (CCNA), RFQ 26-07-01 <br />Cummins Cederberg | Trusted by the Coast. Proven in Practice. <br />16 <br />MARINE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING <br />Our design philosophy is to develop resilient and adaptable <br />marine structures that not only meet engineering <br />requirements decades into the future but also provide <br />immediate benefits to the community and environment. <br />Marine structures must withstand challenging conditions <br />including saltwater exposure, storm waves, tidal currents, <br />scour, and other dynamic loading conditions. By <br />combining marine structural engineering expertise with <br />a deep understanding of coastal processes, our team <br />develops solutions that optimize performance, reduce <br />maintenance requirements, and extend service life. <br />Cummins Cederberg engineers have designed more <br />than 250+ seawalls projects throughout Florida, the <br />majority of which are located along the Intracoastal <br />Waterway and Atlantic coastline. Our experience <br />ranges from large-scale municipal projects, such as the <br />approximately 2,500-linear-foot Dade Boulevard Seawall <br />Project in Miami Beach, to highly constrained urban <br />shoreline projects requiring extensive utility coordination <br />and innovative design solutions. The Dade Boulevard <br />project required modifications to avoid impacts to critical <br />utilities through the use of alternative structural systems, <br />resulting in successful construction without impacts to <br />buried infrastructure. <br />Our engineers remain involved throughout the <br />entire project lifecycle from inspections and field <br />investigations through planning, permitting, design, <br />bidding, and construction administration to provide <br />practical, constructible solutions. We utilize 3D drafting <br />and advanced engineering tools to maximize project <br />performance, maintain public safety, and satisfy <br />regulatory requirements. <br />Cummins Cederberg provided assessment, design, permitting, <br />bidding support, and construction administration services <br />for the rehabilitation and replacement of a deteriorated <br />Intracoastal Waterway seawall at Coastal Towers in Sunny Isles <br />Beach delivering a practical and cost-effective solution that <br />was completed on time and within budget. <br />Locally, Cummins Cederberg recently completed the <br />assessment, design, permitting, and construction <br />administration of the Coastal Towers Seawall and <br />Dock Project in Sunny Isles Beach. The project involved <br />rehabilitation and replacement of a deteriorated <br />Intracoastal Waterway seawall, environmental <br />permitting through DERM, FDEP, and USACE, contractor <br />procurement support, and construction inspection <br />services. The project was completed on time and within <br />budget, with final construction costs remaining within <br />5% of the engineer’s estimate. <br />The engineering team is highly experienced in the use <br />of innovative materials and resilient design approaches, <br />including Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) <br />reinforcement, living seawall technologies, and habitat- <br />enhancing shoreline features. These approaches <br />reduce long-term maintenance costs, improve durability <br />in marine environments, and provide opportunities to <br />integrate environmental benefits with flood protection and <br />shoreline stabilization.
