We are speaking at the International Conference on Coastal Engineering

We’re proud to be the Gold Sponsor of this year’s International Conference on Coastal Engineering and the Women in Coastal Engineering event at the International Convention Centre in Sydney, Australia.

See innovative coastal management solutions – and hear success stories

Come and meet some of the resilience experts that make up our talented team at the International Conference on Coastal Engineering (ICCE) this December. We’ll be sharing insights from real coastal resilience case studies and discussing innovations in the industry at the 37th biannual conference in Sydney.

We’ll be joining many other industry experts as we share our thoughts on this year’s theme: The Present State of the Art and Science of Coastal Engineering.

Protecting our coastlines is becoming more important by the year in the face of accelerating climate change and the increasing frequency of coastal hazards, unexpected tidal patterns, and inclement weather. That’s why it’s so valuable that we take these opportunities to discuss best practices with colleagues from around the world.

Join us in Lounge 17, where we’ll be sharing our experience from case studies such as the Palm Beach Protection Project & Design of the Artificial Reef, the Intertidal Waterpark in the Netherlands, and dredging the Port of Newcastle. Our sessions will cover flood risks, erosion prevention, sea wall maintenance, mooring analysis, and so much more.
We look forward to seeing you there!
