Waterfront Esplanades

Engineering Esplanades:
Enhancing Waterfront Experiences with Innovative Solutions

Esplanades are more than just engineering projects — they are spaces that foster connections between people and their environment. By enhancing accessibility and promoting recreational activities, we strive to enrich the lives of communities living along the waterfront. These dynamic spaces require careful planning and maintenance to ensure their longevity and functionality. Our approach to esplanade engineering encompasses a comprehensive range of services, from initial inspections to design and rehabilitation.

Esplanade Inspections

Before any engineering work begins, thorough inspections are essential to assess the condition of existing esplanades. Our engineers utilize a variety of cutting-edge techniques, including top-side inspections and underwater PE divers inspections. By harnessing reality capture technology, such as drones and unmanned aerial systems (SUAS), we gather precise data to inform our decision-making process. This meticulous approach allows us to identify potential issues and develop tailored solutions for each project.

Innovative Design and Rehabilitation

Esplanade rehabilitation, repair, and design engineering requires collaboration with clients and regulatory agencies. We integrate coastal engineering principles to create resilient and sustainable waterfront spaces. Our expertise in coastal modeling and analysis enables us to predict and manage coastal dynamics effectively, while our commitment to sustainable waterfront edge design ensures minimal environmental impact.

Esplanade Experience

Domino Park Walkway at Night post Industrial Open Space Redevelopment

Domino Park, declared a NYC WEDG certified project

McLaren Engineering Group provided marine engineering services to facilitate the industrial open space redevelopment of the former Domino Sugar Refinery site in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, by designing the reconstruction of the esplanade's existing platform and bulkhead.
