Waterfront Development

The regeneration of existing harbours is often the key to promoting the development and prosperity of the surrounding areas.

This may typically require the restoration of the historic character of the waterfront, whilst introducing new residential, commercial or amenity facilities. This requires a thorough understanding of the historical context and of the economic and maritime environments which create both engineering constraints and opportunities.

Gifford provides and manages specialist studies and services to plan and design schemes which integrate engineering technology with the human and natural environment.

Marina developments require careful planning and design, which takes account of the projected market, the marine environment, practical matters of operation and maintenance, and proper integration with landside developments and infrastructure.

Gifford deploys the full range of marine, infrastructure and environment skills necessary for successful developments.
