Marine facilities and in-water structures are a specialty of Norwest Engineering. When designing projects near a shoreline, everything from environmental regulations, permitting, construction methods, and design capacities is examined with an extra layer of scrutiny. With many waterways located in Portland and the Pacific Northwest, Norwest has become adept at providing engineering design and project management to facilities with water access.

Our civil and structural engineers are experts with new dock design, dock expansions, emergency repairs, shoreline stabilization, etc. Permitting projects with these scopes can be a challenge. Norwest is skilled at recognizing and adjusting strategy to obtain such permits, and sometimes utilizing existing permits to accomplish company objectives.
