The shoreline management process requires equal levels of structural integrity/building stability and environmental protection. The waterfront marine engineering services at Arthur Ponzio Co. offer homeowners and developers who want to protect their coastal properties the essential base to build their projects with complete certainty and confidence.
Core Structural Services
The construction of waterfront buildings requires the use of specialized designs and building components to construct structures sturdy enough to survive continual water weight / pressure and prevent the corrosion / rusting that occurs in saltwater environments.
Residential Bulkheads
Protect your private shoreline from erosion with a custom-engineered bulkhead. Our team creates solutions which are both appealing to the eye and functional in their ability to achieve soil control and flood protection.
Commercial Bulkheads
We offer durable waterfront solutions for industrial areas and busy commercial spaces which are designed to maintain structural strength and support heavy commercial equipment.
Docks
Our dock engineering services deliver custom solutions, from fixed piers to floating systems, to match your water depth requirements, vessel dimensions, and personal preferences.
Marinas
Our comprehensive marina planning and engineering services include optimized slip arrangements, optimized wave protection, and complete utility system integration.
Boat Slips
Our precise design approach establishes secure mooring systems which maintain proper vessel distance from structures while delivering safe docking solutions throughout all tidal variations.
Shoreline Management & Maintenance
Proper protection together with scheduled expert maintenance checks extend the lifespan of your waterfront property.
Shorefront Protection
Our advanced protection approach combines hard engineering methods with soft engineering techniques to defend your property against storm surges and increasing sea levels.
Waterfront Inspections
Arthur Ponzio Co. conducts detailed structural evaluations of current marine infrastructure assets, identifying potential system failures, wood-boring organism infestations, and other potential problems which can develop into costly emergencies.
Dredging
We handle the coordination and engineering of sediment removal, keeping your channels and slips at the necessary depth for safe navigation while following all environmental disposal regulations.
Regulatory & Environmental Compliance
Probably the biggest and most challenging hurdle in marine projects is completing all of the required paperwork and documentation. We handle that for you!
- New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection / NJDEP Permitting
- Tidelands Licenses
- Tidelands Leases
- Tidelands Grants
Additionally, multiple agencies need to approve your building project when you want to construct in riparian zones. A professional engineering assessment at the start of your project will help you avoid extended regulatory problems.
