Coastal Zone Protection & Management

NIRAS has a dedicated Department for Coastal Protection and holds strong specialist knowledge within coastal protection, flood risk management and climate adaptation planning for coastal zones, both in terms of specific projects and within a framework of integrated coastal zone management. We develop our projects based on a holistic perspective and include disciplines such as engineering, surveying, social sciences, landscape architecture, environment, master planning and economics. This results in robust and integrated solutions that provide multiple benefits to nature, local communities and society in general.

Our solutions are based on a profound understanding of the natural environment and local socio-economic conditions. And we always use state-of-the-art numerical models (MIKE-software and CFD-models), GIS and 3D CAD software in our work.
