Our extensive scientific, engineering and legal knowledge, as well as excellent working relationship with the staff at federal state, country, and local regulatory agencies, aids us in expediting the processing of all required permits in record time with optimal results. This team works closely with the design team to ensure permitting feasibility through the design process. As part of the design phase, the Coastal Systems team reviews pertinent regulations and provides feedback to clients and the design team regarding implications of regulatory criteria to project design. Our focus on effective communication with municipal and agency staff, and stakeholders brings consensus to the final product and permit approvals. Coastal Systems uses their expertise in environmental permitting to ensure that a project’s initial design concept not only meets the needs of our clients with regard to form and function from engineering perspectives, but is also feasible in the context of local, federal and state environmental regulations that protect sensitive environmental resources. The team utilizes experienced project managers and scientists to analyze implications of the intricate environmental regulations to the design and implementation of the project from initial conceptual design through construction. As the project moves forward into design development and processing of environmental permits, every detail is custom-designed and managed, from use of sustainable materials that can withstand the harsh conditions to construction scheduling coordination with municipal events. Federal and state environmental permitting is coordinated to run concurrently with the client’s design review and permitting process to streamline the project schedule.
