For resort and residential clients we can lead the planning, design and construction of marinas, piers and pile-supported structures, floating docks and associated waterfront facilities. Employing in-house design tools, we apply global guidelines following American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (PIANC), The Yacht Harbor Association (UK), and other region-specific waterfront facility design standards to develop engineered designs that support small craft to Mega Yachts. We endeavor to achieve waterfront designs that deliver decades of service, while providing functionality and a fitting aesthetic.
To most effectively collaborate with clients on waterfront development alternatives during the design phase, Lally LLC has developed in-house 3D Visualization capabilities using high power mapping, design and engineering software systems and other tools. Depending on the project and client preferences we can develop the following visualization and imaging products;
- Conceptual Site Models
- 2D and 3D Master Planning Models
- 2D and 3D Waterfront Design Overlays
- 3D Video Fly-throughs
- Before-After Imaging
- Landscaping Alternatives
- Color, Pattern and Natural Material Swatches
- LIDAR, Hydrographic, and Laser Scanning Surveys
- Building Information Modeling (BIM)
These visualization products have also proven helpful in conveying design details to stakeholders, environmental agencies, and contractors as projects move from concept through construction.
Construction implementation can make or break a well-designed waterfront project. Lally engineers have unique experience as marine contractors and construction managers to ensure projects are built in adherence to approved designs, standards and with efficiency. We pay close attention to the details, manage risks, inspect materials, monitor quality and environmental compliance, track budgets and schedules on behalf of clients on many types of projects.
