Coastal Tech maintains a state-of-the-art Coastal Geology & Sediments Laboratory for analysis of sediments in conjunction with identification of potential borrow area for beach and dune restoration. These analyses yield all data and formats mandated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and|or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Through our Lab, we offer the following services:
• Split and Log Sediment Cores
• Grain-Size Distribution - Gradation Statistics, Percent Fines, Sands, and Gravels
• Sediment Composition - Carbonate and Organic Content
• Composite Analysis
• Geologic Descriptions
• In-Situ Compaction Testing
Featured Coastal Geology & Sediments Lab Project
Beach restoration projects are not designed based solely on the engineering performance of the fill. Borrow sand must also meet the aesthetic expectations of the public and function in an environmentally sound manner. Coastal Tech has been retained by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to develop guidelines that can be used statewide by design professionals and Department staff to help assure that these goals are met. Our efforts will result in a procedural reference that standardizes sand... More --->
