Waterfronts
Gentek Consult has made a speciality for many years of transforming waterside places throughout the world.
Waterfronts are some of our greatest hidden assets. Run down, industrialised, contaminated and severed from local communities by roads, railways and development, they have suffered decades of neglect. Now, however, the world has rediscovered their residential, economic and recreation potential.
Communities of all kinds, from great cities to rural villages are reconnecting with coasts, ports and harbours, lakes, rivers and canals to make the most of the natural and built heritage of their waterside environment, creating places for people to live, work and play.
Our multi-discipline teams are drawn from a wide range of specialist across our Group in response to the specific requirements of each individual project. They include:
- landscape and urban design
- heritage and archaeology
- ecology
- climate change
- water engineers specialising in flood risk, coasts and rivers
- land use and masterplanning
- transport planning and traffic engineering
- economics and funding
- sustainability and environmental impact assessment
- community communication and involvement
- building design
- site infrastructure engineering
- cost consultants.
