CDI’s marine experts can assist you with all of your marine engineering needs. Our expertise includes structural design and analysis of docks and all associated structures, design of vessel and material movement systems, assistance in acquiring all marine-related permits, and all other marine-related needs.

What is the Condition of your Dock?

Conducting marine operations on a deteriorated or overloaded dock can lead to damage of the dock or berthed vessels. This damage can result in delayed operations, dock downtime, safety hazards, and environmental hazards. CDI can survey and assess your dock to identify and address potential issues before they happen, avoiding the lost revenue and hazards that result from marine incidents.

New Dock or Upgrade?

CDI can assess an existing dock to determine if it is capable of safely berthing larger vessels than currently rated. If not, CDI can determine the necessary upgrades to berth larger vessels and the cost to do so. For new docks, CDI can help select sites, layout new docks, and acquire permits leading to the most efficient design and installation.
