Infrastructure
Infrastructure is the invisible backbone that makes waterfront destinations thrive. Without reliable utilities, access roads, drainage systems, and environmental protections, even the most beautiful developments can’t function properly. At Coastal Systems, we design and deliver infrastructure specifically for the challenges of coastal and island environments—ensuring reliability, resilience, and long-term value for owners, operators, and communities alike.
Water Supply and Wastewater Systems
Dependable water systems are essential, especially in remote or ecologically sensitive areas. We design and construct:
- Freshwater treatment and distribution networks
- Reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plants for island developments
- Wastewater collection, treatment, and reuse systems
- Onsite packaged treatment plants with nutrient-reduction technologies
Our systems are engineered for energy efficiency, ease of maintenance, and regulatory compliance—protecting both human health and the surrounding environment.
Stormwater Management and Flood Resilience
Managing stormwater in coastal environments requires balancing drainage needs with flood protection and environmental stewardship. We design stormwater infrastructure that includes:
- Bioswales, rain gardens, and green streets
- Permeable pavements and underground detention systems
- Elevated infrastructure and coastal flood defenses
Our designs reduce runoff, improve water quality, and build resilience against rising sea levels and increased storm intensity.
Transportation and Circulation Systems
Access and mobility are critical for any destination. We design internal road networks, parking facilities, pedestrian promenades, and bicycle infrastructure that prioritize safety, functionality, and visitor experience. Our transportation planning minimizes congestion, promotes walkability, and supports multimodal connections—whether guests arrive by car, foot, boat, or bicycle.
We also integrate access for service vehicles, emergency responders, and maintenance operations to support long-term site functionality.
Power, Communications, and Energy Resilience
Coastal Systems designs utility systems that provide reliable, resilient, and sustainable energy and communications infrastructure. Services include:
- Electrical distribution networks and microgrid solutions
- Solar power integration and energy storage systems
- Backup power generation for critical facilities
- Fiber-optic communications networks for high-speed connectivity
Where off-grid systems are required, we develop hybrid energy strategies that combine solar, battery storage, and diesel generation to ensure uninterrupted service in even the most remote locations.
Environmental Compliance and Sustainable Design
Every infrastructure project we manage is designed with environmental responsibility in mind. We incorporate best management practices for erosion control, sediment management, habitat protection, and water conservation to meet or exceed permitting requirements. Sustainable infrastructure isn’t an add-on—it’s integrated into every design from day one.
