Mission: Serve the US Army Corps of Engineers and others through R&D and engineering investigations of coastal structures and emergency flood fighting structures. Provides engineering assessment and develops design guidance and analysis tools for breakwaters, jetties, revetments, seawalls, piers, sills, and groins, as well as floating structures. These structures are most commonly used as part of navigation-related projects but may also be used for homeland defense, wave reduction, wave energy production, flood control, shore protection and sediment control. Engineering analysis tools supported include physical models, computer design models, wave-structure interaction numerical models, and life cycle or risk analysis models. Nearshore military logistics are also part of the group’s mission including nearshore rapidly installed structures, offshore rapid structures and throughput modeling.
