Government agencies and municipalities of all sizes are being challenged to maintain coastal assets and marine infrastructure at a reasonable cost to the community. Our experienced coastal engineers have the knowledge and expertise to execute each municipal project from start to finish within strict budgetary guidelines – from a rigorous RFP process and permitting to ongoing shoreline protection and management. For the past 25 years, RACE has worked with municipalities and community stakeholders to restore and enhance recreational and commercial waterfront access, mitigate coastal flood risk, and treat valuable natural habitats with respect. 

Meeting the Needs of Public Sector Stakeholders with Quality and Cost Control
in Mind

Government agencies need to maintain and improve coastal structures, marine facilities and assets and prepare for future storm events, rising sea levels and flooding. RACE has 25 years experience working with municipalities, agencies, commissions, etc. and their stakeholders to provide recreational and commercial waterfront access, mitigate and enhance coastal flood protection and respect our natural habitats. 

RACE provides an unparalleled combination of coastal, structural, and geotechnical expertise. Through our singular focus on waterfront projects, RACE is committed to delivering successful, innovative and resilient engineering solutions with our full-range of professional services.

RACE Coastal South Pine Creek outfall

“RACE’s design effort centered around not only building a first-class fishing amenity but also creating a space from which anyone can enjoy the views of the harbor and the waterfront access the pier affords. The pier is designed to withstand storms both now and in the future with higher water levels.”

SPOTLIGHT: South Benson Channel Dredging and Beach Nourishment - Fairfield, CT

RACE Coastal Engineering was contracted by the Town of Fairfield to perform site investigations, prepare design plans, specifications and necessary permit applications for the maintenance dredging of the South Benson Marina and entrance channel. RACE’s scope of services included hydrographic survey and volume computations as well as sediment sample collection and characterization. RACE coordinated with the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for sediment sampling and analysis plan requirements and reviewed alternatives for beneficial reuse of approximately 31,900 in lieu of offshore disposal. RACE received a suitability determination from the USACE to allow the dredged material to be utilized for beach nourishment of the adjacent Town Beach at Jennings. RACE prepared the necessary permit applications, prepared construction drawings for the dredging and beach nourishment fill and assisted the Town throughout the bid process and construction administration phases.

The American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) awarded this project an America’s 2020 Best Restored Beach Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers recognized this project with a 2020 Achievement in Civil Engineering (ACE) award.
