Within GeoDelft, the department of hydraulic and offshore geo-engineering focuses on research and advisory services in the following fields:
- Coastal, Harbour & Marine - Offshore, Energy & Transport
Coastal, Harbour & Marine
The pressure of human development at the coast leads to an escalating demand for new land at the coastal fringe which is is being increasingly met by reclamation of new land. Coastal zone engineering is concerned with offshore and nearshore works along the coast. Integrated coastal development is a vital concept that is implemented by Dutch throughout the world. The strength of the Dutch suppliers lies in their unique expertise in marine engineering, dredging and construction on soft soils; from rock to sandy sea beds and peat soils and in devising high-quality creative solutions, such as the Maeslant Barrier.

Offshore, Energy & Transport Introduction Global increase in the demand for energy leads to exploration and development of hydrocarbons in deeper water and more hazardous surroundings while wind and wave energy are emerging as new sustainable sources of energy. Pipelines and cables are key elements in the transport and distribution of energy and data throughout the world. This all results in greater challenges for the design of offshore infrastructure.
