Marina design and waterfront infrastructure are fundamental to the development of safe, functional and sustainable yachting facilities. This sector covers the planning, design and development of marinas and related infrastructure located along coastal river and other waterfront areas.
Marina development involves the planning and masterplanning of marinas, berthing areas, docks, investment and legislation, as well as responsible design, engineering and construction of safe and sustainable marinas. Effective design also requires consideration of the site conditions, water depth, navigation, vessel access, safety, operational requirements and environmental factors.
Waterfront infrastructure extends beyond the marina itself and may include facilities and structures that support access to and use waterfront areas. The sector therefore brings together architects, engineers, designers, consultants, developers and other professionals involved in the planning and development of marina and waterfront projects.
