Beacon Design Incorporated offers professional sediment budget analysis services. Sediment budgets provide a conceptual and quantitative model of the magnitudes and pathways of sediment transport at inlets and adjacent beaches for a given time period.

Sediment budgets give a framework for understanding complex inlet and coastal systems and their responses to coastal engineering projects.
 
Any convenient method, such as a spreadsheet application, can be used to formulate and calculate a sediment budget. Our methods provide a convenient method for formulating regional sediment budgets for coastal regions, including inlets, because they are visually based, provide an integrated picture of the processes while archiving detailed calculations within the system, and allows variations in the sediment budget to be rapidly examined.

The Beacon Design Incorporated sediment team provides expertise to the extent needed to accomplish any set of project goals. Through our careful market analysis, appropriate engineering and scientific investigation, thoughtful material selection, and responsive operation, Beacon Design Incorporated can be relied upon for successful development of the most complex sediment budget analysis projects.
