We prioritise the physical and aesthetic integrity of your properties, and we do so by thoroughly understanding your vision.
Marine structural engineering is a specific discipline within the structural engineering and design profession that focuses on projects near or in water.
This area of structural engineering comes with its own set of unique challenges, and marine structures can be impacted by certain factors that do not affect other structures, such as tides, waves, and other environmental elements. These factors affect how buildings behave and can change standards on safe loading limits and building materials. Considering this, it is vital to partner with professional structural engineers and designers who specialise specifically in marine projects in order to have the highest quality build on the first try.
The benefits of working with marine structural engineers and designers from AWA are endless. Not only will you have a team of highly qualified and skilled engineers with a varied portfolio of completed projects (including for the RNLI, a historic pier refurbishment and marina dry stack suitable for boat storage), but you will also have confidence knowing your structure is built to withstand anything.

Any and all structures near or in water need the knowledge and expertise of a marine structural engineer and/or designer. This guarantees that those structures will be safe and secure and that your time and money will be used effectively from the first day of the project.
For pre-built or pre-existing structures, consult with a marine structural engineer to ensure that your planned repairs or refurbishment ideas are sound. We at AWA can provide you with the information you need to complete your project free of worry and error, and we can also provide the necessary surveys and inspections your project requires.
Our marine structural engineers are your answer to completely understanding a marine structure before you get to work. Our team is ready to make all the calculations and revisions you will need for your project, and we will happily advise your plans using our knowledge. Whether your structure will face tides, salt water, or coastal weather systems, the marine structure engineers of Andrew Waring Associates is ready to assist.
