Miamarina,
Florida
When damage sustained by Hurricane Andrew justified the
demolition of Miamarina, Coastal Systems International,
Inc. produced a conceptual plan and provided preliminary
and final designs for the new 130-slip marina. After
participating in a feasibility study for the development
of the improvements, Coastal Systems designed a wave baffling
system to greatly reduce the wave activity that has historically
hindered the efficient operation of this facility. The
design also minimized long-term maintenance, while maximizing
resistance to hurricane storm conditions. To aid development
of the optimum design, Coastal System s conducted a physical
model study that was used to test the wave transmission
and reflection characteristics of the proposed crib structure
and wave energy absorber. It was this design that allowed
the City of Miami to qualify for hazard mitigation funding
from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). Coastal
Systems processed and secured all regulatory permits as
part of the comprehensive service package for the City
of Miami. In addition, construction administration services
were provided from implementation to project completion
in August of 1997.
