INFRASTRUCTURE & COASTAL RESTORATION
Brown & Root’s Infrastructure and Coastal Restoration group specializes in projects directed towards the restoration of coastal areas, particularly along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana.
Coastal loss in Louisiana is an urgent problem and is rapidly getting worse. From 2004 through 2008 alone more than 300 Square Miles were lost as a result of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav and Ike. With sea levels rising, increasingly intense coastal storms, and coastal land continuing to sink, an additional 85 Square Miles of land mass will be lost by 2020.
Reversing coastal loss requires an innovative approach, to go from the permit and planning stages through project execution. Brown & Root delivers solutions which synchronize financial requirements with the orderly prosecution of the work to provide best value to our clients.
Together, we can fix this.
Our mission is to facilitate client requirements and objectives for large and complex public infrastructure in the Water Resources market including very large scale efforts to restore degraded and deteriorating coastal shoreline and marshland.

Our expertise involves the management and successful delivery of large and complex water resource infrastructure projects.
