Beacon Design Incorporated offers professional numerical modeling of coastal processes services. We specialize in analyzing coastal physical processes and their effects on coastal zone and waterfront projects.
 
Waves, currents, and sediment and contaminant transport are analyzed and simulated for assessing project feasibility and for planning, permitting, and design.

Coast & harbor engineers routinely develop, verify and apply sophisticated numerical modeling tools and analysis techniques. These capabilities are applied to quantify and display physical effects on the project, and minimize project effects on the environment.
 
Analysis and modeling tools are applied to evaluate:

• Wave growth
• Transformation and nearshore circulation
• Wave setup, runup and overtopping
• Tide-induced and wind-induced circulation
• Sediment transport and erosion-accumulation
• Water quality
• Beach profile evolution
• Fate of placed dredged material.
