Hancock County, MS · Government
This restoration project preserves and protects existing coastal habitat while providing areas of secondary shellfish productivity. It features three main components: six miles of living shoreline using a segmented rock breakwater, 46 acres of subtidal reef, and approximately 46 acres of marsh.
Grasse River, NY · Industrial
To address polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) accumulated in over seven miles of river sediments, Anchor QEA supported a three-year remedial construction phase. The scope of work encompassed dredging, capping, and reconstruction of the aquatic habitat.
Santa Cruz Island, CA · Federal · Client: National Park Service (NPS)
The project relocated and replaced Scorpion Pier and its access road on Santa Cruz Island to improve park operations and safe visitor access. The design incorporates features that mitigate flooding and accommodate future projected changes in sea level without requiring full replacement, tailored for construction in an island volcanic rock environment.
Chehalis River Basin, WA · Government
Preparation and analysis of a comprehensive, long-term program of actions designed to reduce flood damage and restore aquatic species habitat across the 2,700-square-mile Chehalis River Basin.
