Restoring a natural habitat is a complex engineering feat that requires more than just moving earth and planting seeds—it requires a commitment to the landscape’s future. While the “construction” phase of a project like a wetland restoration or a riparian corridor is a major milestone, the true measure of success is determined in the years… [Read more]
California Coastal Infrastructure: Changing Designs and Climate Change Drive Changes in Marine Construction Means and Methods
For over 55 years, Marathon Construction Corporation has stood at the edge of the Pacific, building the wharves, piers, and seawalls that define the California coastline. We have seen the tides change—literally and figuratively. Today, however, the industry is facing a more profound shift than the daily ebb and flow. Accelerating climate change, sea-level rise… [Read more]
How Design-Build Partnerships Accelerate Industrial Project Delivery
In large-scale industrial construction, time and coordination often define success. Every project involves a complex interplay of engineering, logistics, procurement, and environmental considerations. Traditional models, where design and construction are separate, can slow progress and complicate accountability. Design-build partnerships, however, change that dynamic by fostering collaboration from concept through completion, helping teams move faster without… [Read more]
Best Practices in Coastal Erosion Control and Habitat Restoration
Coastlines are where land and water meet in their most dramatic form, constantly shifting, endlessly beautiful, and, at times, incredibly vulnerable. Rising seas, strong storms, and human activity all accelerate erosion, threatening not just beaches and cliffs but also the communities and wildlife that depend on them. But with the right strategies, it’s possible to… [Read more]
The Benefits of Pre-Construction Planning for Large-Scale Marine Projects
Large-scale marine projects are among the most challenging in construction. They demand precise coordination, strict adherence to environmental regulations, and careful attention to safety. The success of these projects often hinges on the groundwork laid before construction begins. Strong pre-construction planning establishes clear budgets, identifies risks, and creates realistic schedules, reducing the chance of delays… [Read more]
