Rapid development in the coastal areas of the world means that ongoing natural processes play a larger role in our everyday lives. Yet, a great many coastal processes are poorly understood and can be difficult to quantify.

Coastal engineering and related studies of coastal littoral processes is one of our fundamental disciplines. Hay & Company Consultants has been at the forefront of a number of challenging studies in Canada and abroad. These projects have included erosion studies, wave analysis studies and the design of structures to minimize loss of land and protect upland property.
