Engineering Smarter Coastal Solutions

We are experts in design of coastal structures, and specialise in practical, well-built solutions — from seawalls to boat ramps and boardwalks, and everything in between.

Our team combines strong technical skills with extensive construction experience, so what we design actually works on the ground.

01 Engineering

Getting consent for coastal work can be complicated. We prepare the assessments and paperwork councils need, backed by decades of successful applications, so your project has the best chance of a smooth approval.

03 Coastal Planning

02 Coastal Hazards

We help you understand the risks your coastal property or development project faces. This includes all aspects of coastal risk, from erosion to flooding and wave overtopping. We turn complex science into clear, straightforward answers you can use to make good decisions.

OUR PROJECTS

Davis Coastal Consultants has been working on New Zealand's coastline for over 20 years — from Northland to the Chatham Islands. Our projects range from major local authority capital works to small, fast-turnaround repairs. The fundamentals remain the same: durable, well-considered coastal engineering that accounts for dynamic coastal processes and works for the people who use the coast every day.

RAGLAN WHARF

New Zealand's busiest little surf town got a busier little wharf. See how we engineered longer-than-standard gangways and a new pontoon to open up the water for Raglan's boaties and paddlers.

ALGIES RESERVE

Failing armouring, a much-loved boat ramp, and a community ready for change. See how specialist masonry techniques and a two-level path network gave this Mahurangi foreshore a lasting upgrade.

RUSSELL WHARF

850,000 ferry passengers a year rely on this wharf — we couldn't afford to get it wrong. Read how we upgraded one of New Zealand's busiest maritime facilities without ever closing it down.
