Gibraltar Point Nearshore Reef Design
Toronto Island, Ontario, Canada
Baird has designed an innovative nearshore reef to control shoreline erosion at Gibraltar Point on the Toronto Islands. In addition to long-term stability and low maintenance, the design supports the ecological health of nearshore environment and enhances aquatic habitat.
Port Miami Squat Analysis
Miami, FL, USA
Post-Panamax vessels entering PortMiami enter at high speeds due to the Gulf Stream but this also increases their squat. Baird measured the motion of 17 post-Panamax vessels entering PortMiami and used this to develop a web-based application to assist the pilots in determining safe navigation conditions.
