Cummins Cederberg

What Cummins Cederberg does

Cummins Cederberg is a Coral Gables, Florida-headquartered consulting and engineering firm specializing in coastal and marine environments, founded in 2010. The firm provides project-based engineering, environmental, permitting, and construction administration services to government agencies, port authorities, and private waterfront developers operating throughout Florida and the Caribbean (including the Bahamas, Jamaica, and project work in Alaska). Nine service areas anchor the practice: Marinas & Waterfront Developments, Beaches & Coastal Protection, Environmental Science and Permitting, Sea Level Rise Adaptation & Coastal Resiliency, Inspections and Maintenance, Surveying and Data Collection, Ports and Cruise Destinations, Construction Services, and Nature Based Solutions.

The firm's technical capabilities center on physics-based computational engineering — Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for storm-condition wave loading, MIKE 21 Mooring Analysis for cruise terminal dynamic mooring loads, Optimoor for static mooring analysis at USCG facilities, and EOMAP's proprietary physics-based inversion method for satellite-derived bathymetric and habitat classification — supplemented by field bathymetric surveying, LIDAR, and underwater inspection. Deliverables are engineered through eight Florida offices (Coral Gables, Fort Lauderdale, Jupiter, Tallahassee, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Jacksonville, and Gainesville) using direct, relationship-driven project pursuit — including qualification-based selection for municipal clients — rather than through channel partners or resellers.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based engineering consulting fees for coastal and marine engineering, design, permitting, and construction administration. The customer mix is government-dominant — cities (Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Sarasota, Longboat Key, Sanibel, Miami Beach), port authorities (PortMiami, Kingston Wharves), regional planning councils (Apalachee RPC), and state agencies (FDOT, FDEP) — with select enterprise clients in shipyards (Derecktor Shipyards, Fincantieri Marine Systems N.A.) and marinas (Las Olas Marina). The firm derives material competitive advantage from grant funding expertise, having helped clients secure over $19M for The Bay Park and $16M for Currie Park, and from a permitting track record with FDEP, USACE, and the FWC.
