Design/Sustainability

The reconstruction of Sandy Hook Bay Marina was the result of numerous studies performed by professionals with expertise in marina planning, marine engineering and construction and consistent with our commitment to use sustainable products and environmentally conscious construction. The project won the Distinguished Engineering Award from the New Jersey Alliance for Action, which was presented to Matrix New World Engineering in April 2015 for the development of Sandy Hook Bay Marina.

The reconstruction included state-of-the-art Sullivan Flotation Floating Docks, G electrical cable, pex water piping and lighthouse stanchions. These design standards are among the highest in the industry. The steel stake piles supporting the docks are 10” in diameter, 53’ in length and driven to a depth to avoid displacement during storms and from ice. The tops of the piles have also been set so that the docks will not override the piling even in the worst of storm events.
