Rosewood Park Shoreline Restoration/Enhancement Project
Highland Park, IL, USA
Baird completed coastal modeling and analyses to support design development for a shoreline restoration/enhancement project in Highland Park, IL, located on the east shore of Lake Michigan north of Chicago. The $14.5M project includes beach, bluff and gully restoration/enhancement elements.
Arica Breakwater
Arica, Chile
Baird was asked by Terminal Puerto Arica to assess the condition of the breakwater of the port. The main breakwater was built in the early sixties using 16-ton tetrapods. Due to damage observed during the monitoring program, the elbow of the breakwater was repaired using 5.0 m3 CoreLoc units. A program of annual monitoring has been undertaken since the repair took place in 2007.
