At Andrew Waring Associates (AWA), we take the plans for your marine structure in Portsmouth from paper to reality. Our team of unparalleled civil and structural engineers does what it takes to get to know your ideas and give you the guidance you need to make them happen.
Whether you are interested in building a small private pontoon access bridge, a marina for hundreds of boats, dry stack storage, breakwater, sea walls, or launch and recovery rigs, AWA’s marine structural engineers and designers provide the services you and your project need.
After more than 30 years of aiding our clients in achieving big goals for their builds, we have proudly and continuously offered innovative ideas that result in award-winning projects.
Located just down the M27, AWA and our structural engineers have taken part in countless Portsmouth projects since opening in 1987. The island is full of rich culture and heritage, and we are honoured to have the opportunity to contribute to the area’s naval history. Our experience with marine projects continues to grow with the city, and it is a pleasure to give back to the place that has given us so much.

Marine civil engineering and design is a specific and unique specialisation that AWA engineers perform daily. We have an extensive catalogue of projects, and our experience allows us to deliver innovative, attractive structural designs that withstand the potentially harmful factors of coastal and waterside locations.
At AWA, one of the many perks we offer our clients is the confidence that their project is in good hands. Once we work on one of your projects, we will gladly work with you for years to come, and, of course, offer the same expertise each time.
Engineering projects in or around water have to overcome unique challenges in order to be stable, secure, and safe for those using the structure. Our marine engineers at AWA will bring your project to life in a way that meets safety standards while looking good. We strive to understand your vision thoroughly, and we do all that we can to make it happen without compromising aesthetics.
Structural engineering and design is a complex field that includes a variety of specialities, and we at AWA are happy to specialise in marine civil and structural engineering and design in order to help our clients with projects that have to do with water.
It is no secret that aquatic projects can be difficult, especially when environmental factors like the tide, waves, and other elements play a role in the stability and quality of the build. It is vital to call upon professionals that understand the impacts of these specific elements and how to complete your project in the safest way possible despite them. Whether special building materials are needed or a new building plan made, your marine structural engineer and designer should be able to help you complete your project the right way.
The marine structural engineers and designers here at AWA have more than enough experience, knowledge, and skills to handle your project. Our extensive portfolio (including for the RNLI, a historic pier refurbishment and marina dry stack suitable for boat storage) and familiarity with the area give you the confidence you need to build with us as well as the security your structure needs to stand the test of time.

If you plan to build near or in water, it is vital to have the skills and support of marine structural engineers or designers. Your structure, money, and time will thank you for it, and you will be glad you worked with professionals from the start of the project.
If your structure is pre-built or pre-existing, check with an experienced marine structural engineer or designer before beginning any new work. Our engineers at AWA can inform you on how best to move forward with new building plans or add-ons, and you can count on us to provide the surveys and inspections you need.
Our job is to get your marine project up and running safely, and we will do it using our years of experience in Portsmouth. We are prepared to get the information required for your build, and we will get you a sound building plan before the project begins. No matter what your structure is up against, whether it be salt water, strong tides, or unpredictable coastal weather patterns, we at Andrew Waring Associates are ready to help.
