Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best solution for beach erosion on my property?
There is no universal answer - the right solution depends on your site's wave climate, sediment budget, existing structures, and the nature of the erosion. ICM assesses each site individually before recommending an approach, which may include nourishment, groynes, a revetment, nature-based elements, or a combination.
Does ICM provide emergency coastal engineering services?
Yes. ICM has significant experience responding to coastal emergencies including storm damage, post-cyclone erosion, and active scour events. We can mobilise quickly and help navigate the regulatory approval process. Call us directly on +61 7 5564 0564.
