Mr. Andrew Wycklendt is a board-certified coastal engineer (BCCE) through the Academy of Coastal, Ocean, Port and Navigation Engineers (ACOPNE), a subsidiary of the American Society of Civil Engineers; with only 79 Board Certified Coastal Engineers worldwide, this is the highest certification given to a professional engineer within the field of coastal engineering. He has 18 years of coastal engineering experience designing and implementing a variety of coastal restoration, shoreline protection, sediment management, dredging, navigation, waterfront structure, and flood mitigation projects along Pacific, Atlantic, Gulf, and Arctic coasts. He has worked with barrier island, headland and embayment, estuarine, deltaic, cliff, pocket, perched, and open coastal systems to restore or nourish beaches, marshes, and other habitat that can be classified as either sand, mixed sediment, vegetated, cobble, boulder, or volcanic. Project experience includes dredge and fill (for disposal, nourishment, or restoration), coastal structure (breakwaters, groins, jetties, revetments, and seawalls), and marine-related upland structures (beach access stairs, boardwalks, boat ramps, docks, piers, and quays).
Mr. Wycklendt is versed in all aspects of the coastal engineering discipline, inclusive of coastal modeling, project design, permitting, bid and construction document preparation, construction oversight and administration, topobathymetric and biological surveys, geophysical and geotechnical investigations, and oceanographic studies. He manages broad-based coastal engineering projects, inclusive of marketing and sales, client contact, team coordination and collaboration, feasibility analyses, engineering designs, numerical modeling, report preparation, permitting, construction engineering, and monitoring services. He collaborates across disciplines to effectively convey complex information to colleagues, stakeholders, and the public. Specific responsibilities include the following:
- Lead project teams in the coastal project design process from conceptual design to detailed design ready for bid and construction
- Perform project management activities in a lead role being responsible for scope, budget, and schedule while working in close coordination with the project team, sub-consultants, and client
- Design, manage, and contribute to field programs and data analysis
- Define numerical modeling needs, provide guidance to the modeling team, and QA/QC modeling results
- Analyze environmental effects and project performance using analytic and numeric models
- Design coastal projects and estimate construction costs
- Develop construction plans and specifications
- Administer coastal construction projects.
