Blue Coast staff have over three decades of experience in data collection for research and engineering projects in Puget Sound and worldwide. Our expertise includes the measurement of wind, currents, waves, vessel wakes, currents and water quality, sediment transport, topography, and bathymetry. We have developed and implemented measurement and monitoring programs for a wide array of applications.
Examples of instrumentation and data collection services include:
Blue Coast staff managed and led the research program to determine shore impacts from passenger-only fast ferries operating between Seattle and Bremerton. Blue Coast collected wake data for all three vessel on the route and provide additional data collection as needed to support continued vessel operation.
Blue Coast conducted a coastal engineering assessment in support of the feasibility and design of beach restoration alternatives at Lone Tree Lagoon near La Conner, Washington. The work included field data collection and analysis of 3 months of wind-wave data at three locations and collection of information on tidal currents using an acou
Blue Coast conducted a coastal engineering assessment in support of the feasibility and design of beach restoration alternatives at Lone Tree Lagoon near La Conner, Washington. The work included field data collection and analysis of 3 months of wind-wave data at three locations and collection of information on tidal currents using an acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP). The site characterization was used to develop conceptual restoration alternatives and recommendations for the site.
Blue Coast supported Anchor QEA on a restoration project on the lower Big Quilcene River. Blue Coast provided hydrodynamic modeling to support design for a restoration design that included a bridge, channel, levee, and channel reconfiguration. Data collection of currents, topography, bathymetry, and water levels supported the modeling effort.
