Coast and Estuary Resilience

Antea Group is assisting its public-sector clients in strengthening the adaptive capacity and resilience of vulnerable coastal communities to climate risks.

Based on climate models, and modeling of waves, tides and sediment transport, we calculate these risks and design smart measures to protect coasts and  safeguard the future.

Hydrological, hydraulic, and hydrodynamic numerical modeling is an important pillar of our services.  Antea Group has developed state-of-the-art numerical models (1D, 2, and 3D) to calculate water run-off, tides, waves and the transport of substances. These models are basic instruments for determining quantity and quality processes in catchments, rivers, estuaries, and in coastal and marine areas.

Coastal areas are heavily affected by morphological changes, leading to negative environmental and economic consequences. Therefore, defense structures are often needed to protect coastal areas.

Antea Group  specializes in the design of coastal and flood protection structures such as groins, dikes, breakwaters, sea walls, revetments, stilling wave basin, levees, removable cofferdams, etc.

You can rely on our experts for the conceptual design, testing and monitoring of such structures.

Antea Group is committed to developing innovative nature-based solutions to protect coasts and estuaries. We specialize in sustainable engineering and the use of soft coastal protection measures, such as beach nourishment, wetland restoration, integrating natural systems, landscapes and processes.

Population density and the conversion of natural areas along the coast into man-made concrete surfaces has been growing at an alarming rate.

Our urban developers and spatial planners work on sustainable solutions and strategic spatial planning to contribute to the resilience of coasts
