Stuart Barr
Director / Principal Coastal Engineer
Since completing a Bachelor of Engineering (Env) at the University of Western Australia in 1994, Stuart has gained nearly 30 years experience working on coastal and environmental projects throughout Australia. This experience has given Stuart particular expertise in coastal engineering investigations, design and construction supervision for coastal and maritime projects, including beach protection (sand nourishment, seawalls, groynes), small boat harbours (breakwaters, dredging, bypassing) and ports. The experience Stuart has gained over the last 28 years has garnered him with a unique and invaluable understanding of costal engineering and coastal processes in Western Australia, in particular the southwest region of WA.

Coastal Engineer
Glenn has 12 years experience as a coastal engineer, working on a wide variety of coastal and estuarine projects in Western Australia. He has been involved in foreshore dynamics investigations, evaluation of metocean datasets, condition inspection and adaptation of existing structures, as well as design and construction of new structures. Glenn has developed a solid understanding of coastal and estuarine processes, across a wide range of conditions, which he considers an important foundation for coastal engineers. He has particular skills in the integration of field inspection, coastal data (e.g. surveys) and oceanographic measurements to identify active coastal processes. These skills have been applied through the field survey design, implementation and evaluation of coastal processes monitoring for the Wheatstone Project, near Onslow, and for an erosion assessment and subsequent seawall design and construction at Bunbury.

Technical Specialist
Dr Bill Andrew was previously a Principal Engineer with the WA Department of Marine of Harbours and has more than 50 years experience. Dr. Andrew originally worked with the Harbours and Rivers Branch of the Western Australian Department of Public Works in the late 1950s and became the Principal Engineer for Maritime Planning for the Department in the 1980s. Dr. Andrew assumed various senior roles with the Department in the 1980s and 1990s including Principal Engineer (Planning and Design) and Principal Engineer (Consultant Engineering Services).
Since 1994 Dr. Andrew has continued to provide high level technical advice on coastal management and maritime planning to various government departments and local government authorities, as well as assuming a valuable mentoring role for many, less experienced coastal engineers in Western Australia.
Dr. Andrew teamed up with Seashore Engineering in 2012 and continues to provide services the WA Department for Transport.
