Marine StructuresWave Attenuators, Great Harbor Marina, Southwest Harbor, Maine
"The wave attenuators [at right] were a creative solution to a complex and much-debated issue. We’re very happy with their performance; they definitely reduce the effect that storms have on our boats.”
- Joseph LaChance, Manager, Great Harbor Marina"

Maine’s economy depends heavily on marine and inland water-related industries, such as research, fishing, and recreation. These uses require docks, piers, breakwaters, boat ramps, floats, dock-side utilities, mooring plans, marinas, public boat landings, shore protection systems, dams, etc. The wave attenuator system at Great Harbor Marina in Southwest Harbor is one of our more innovative designs. The three wave attenuators shelter the marina from rough waters caused by high winds and storm conditions, without adversely affecting the remainder of the Harbor.

Our staff, which includes boat owners, fishermen, lobstermen, and a former schooner captain, understand the unique requirements of marine projects. We can help you with the planning, design, and construction of your marine project. For more information please contact us.
