KS Associates delivers the largest shore protection project in its history VIDEO

KS Associates has delivered the largest shore protection project in the firm’s history, and helped to complete the project six months ahead of schedule.

For nearly six years, KS Coastal Engineers have been working with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) to rehabilitate 1.3 miles of armor stone revetment at the Magee Marsh Wildlife Area in Oak Harbor, Ohio.

The stone structure along the shoreline of Lake Erie helps protect the marsh from wave energy and natural lake effects.

Over time, storm events displaced the stone and weakened the structure, compromising its ability to protect the marsh, which contains some of Ohio’s finest remaining coastal wetlands.
