HBC Engineering Company | 173 Manuel Castaño, PE Senior Coastal Engineer 2 specific eroded beach profile, determination of design wave crest elevations, and assessment of wave loads on the proposed structures in accordance with applicable FDEP regulations and coastal engineering standards. The role also involved coordinating with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) to obtain approval for the project's exterior lighting plan, ensuring compliance with marine turtle protection requirements by minimizing adverse impacts to nesting females and hatchling sea turtles. Additional responsibilities included coordinating with the multidisciplinary design team, preparing technical documentation to support regulatory reviews, and assisting in addressing agency comments throughout the permitting process to facilitate project approval. Boca Chica Restoration Engineering with Nature, NAS Key West, FL. Coastal Engineer responsible for leading the coastal resilience assessment, engineering analysis, and development of shoreline protection alternatives for Geiger Beach at Naval Air Station (NAS) Key West. The project enhanced the resilience of critical military infrastructure by reducing the vulnerability of Runway 32 and adjacent airfield facilities to shoreline erosion, wave attack, storm surge, sea level rise, and future coastal hazards. Applying Engineering with Nature (EWN) principles, the project evaluated nature-based and hybrid shoreline stabilization strategies that provide long- term protection while maintaining natural coastal processes and ecological function. Responsibilities included coastal engineering analyses of shoreline conditions, waves, water levels, sediment transport, erosion, and storm impacts to assess risk, identify vulnerabilities, and establish design criteria. Multiple shoreline protection alternatives were developed and evaluated based on resilience, wave attenuation, shoreline stability, constructability, environmental benefits, and long-term maintenance. Solutions were designed to protect mission-critical infrastructure while maintaining airfield operations, avoiding wildlife hazards, preserving recreational beach access, and supporting long-term environmental and community objectives through multidisciplinary coordination. Crystal River Archaeological State Park Living Shoreline, Citrus County, FL. Project engineer responsible for evaluating, permitting, and designing approximately 800 linear feet of shoreline armoring at FDEP’s Crystal River Archaeological Park to prevent shoreline erosion caused by storms and local boat traffic. Alternatives included Nature Based Solutions NBS (living shoreline and revetted shoreline), and seawall repairs. The team analyzed the coastal site conditions such as water currents, wind waves, boat wakes, and water levels (tidal, storm surge, sea level rise) and provided design and construction support services. 5775 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL. Engineer in charge of the numerical modeling required for a FEMA CLOMR based on fill to modify the proposed structure’s effective flood zone from a partial AE flood zone to an X zone. Services included coordination with design team relative to fill activities meeting base flood elevation requirements and coordination with the local municipality. Services provided also include Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) permitting of a new condominium with pool deck/amenity area and associated Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FFWCC) exterior lighting approval to reduce impacts to nesting/hatchling marine.
