• Develop a concept and master plan layout for the proposed marine structures that supports the intended architectural, functional, and client requirements.
• Provide integrated structural, geotechnical, and marine engineering solutions tailored for the development.
• Ensure stability, safety, constructability, and serviceability of all proposed marine elements including pontoons, offshore platforms, and cabana boardwalks.
• Provide comprehensive documentation to support the detailed design, procurement, and construction phases.
• Ensure the safety and durability of the marine structures under static, dynamic, and environmental loads.

• Use materials and design practices that maximize the lifespan and minimize the environmental impact of the structures.
Bower and Octant provided coastal and marine consultancy for the Spain Island Master Plan, ensuring the project’s architecture harmonizes with its marine environment. Comprehensive coastal studies, including metocean analysis, wave and hydrodynamic modelling, and sediment transport assessments, formed the technical foundation of the design.
These studies guided the safe positioning of pontoons, jetties, and cabana structures while securing long-term shoreline stability and environmental resilience. The result is a sustainable, elegant waterfront that reflects the luxury and exclusivity of The World Islands.
