Edgewater Resources

What Edgewater Resources does

Edgewater Resources is a privately held, U.S.-headquartered waterfront design and engineering consultancy founded in 2010 in St. Joseph, Michigan, that plans, designs, and engineers marinas, harbors, shorelines, and mixed-use waterfronts. It serves municipal and government agencies (e.g., City of Chicago, City of Waukegan, New Orleans Lakefront Management Authority, Illinois Beach State Park), Indigenous nations (Lummi Nation), foreign governments (Government of Anguilla), private marina operators and developers (F3 Marina, Inn at Harbor Shores, Kennedy Point Marina), and resort/hospitality clients (Morgan Point / Caroline Bay Marina tied to a Ritz Carlton Reserve development). The firm is led by four founding principals — Gregory Weykamp (President), Jack Cox (VP of Engineering), Kathy Weykamp (Director of Operations), and Mike Morphey (Senior Engineer) — and operates from eleven field offices across the U.S., Canada, and Argentina, with project work additionally documented in Bermuda, Cyprus, New Zealand, and Mexico.

Service delivery is grouped under three interconnected practice areas: Marinas & Harbors (planning, financial feasibility, dock and dredge design, permitting, construction oversight); Shorelines & Coastal (shoreline stabilization, breakwaters and jetties, living shorelines, wave and sediment transport modeling); and Waterfronts (mixed-use waterfront master planning, parks and open space, marina upland facilities, community engagement, grant funding support). The offering is differentiated by an integrated multidisciplinary team covering architecture, planning, landscape architecture, development finance, and seven engineering disciplines (marine, civil, coastal, geotechnical, mechanical, structural), enabling a single-team delivery model from feasibility through construction. Documented technical differentiators include climate-responsive design integrating site-specific hydrodynamic modeling and long-term sea level rise; numeric and physical wave modeling; sediment transport modeling; and living-shoreline / nature-based design. The firm's leadership holds rare credentials (LEED Accredited Professional, Clean & Resilient Marina Professional, Waterfront Edge Design Guideline Associate, CLARB certification, triple Board-Certified PE through ACOPNE) and are co-authors of ASCE Manual 50, PIANC Marina Design Guidelines, and the International Marina Designer Training Program.

Edgewater operates a sales-led, professional-services business model: revenue is generated from project-based engineering and design fees quoted per engagement, with no standardized public pricing, and is booked through direct enterprise sales to public and private clients. The firm supplements direct sales with thought leadership — national and international conference speaking and monthly publishing in industry magazines (Marina World, Marina Dock Age) — that functions as a top-of-funnel channel for the niche. Revenue is supported by long-cycle, lumpy, project-based engagements rather than recurring SaaS or subscription revenue, and the firm's recent scale commentary cites more than $100 million in marine and waterfront projects constructed or bid under its involvement over the last five years, and $26 million+ in successful client grant awards over the same period. Edgewater remains privately held by its founding principals with no disclosed institutional investment, parent company, or public listing.

Direct peers

• SmithGroup: Integrated architecture and engineering firm with a recognized waterfront and marina design practice serving municipal, port, and private clients. Highly comparable in scope (planning + landscape + engineering) and project types to Edgewater's Marinas & Harbors and Waterfronts services.
• Anchor QEA: Waterfront and marine engineering and environmental science firm serving ports, marinas, and coastal clients. Highly comparable in scale and service mix, with strong overlap in shoreline stabilization, dredging, and marina design.
• Applied Technology & Management (ATM): Waterfront and coastal engineering consultancy specializing in marinas, shoreline protection, and harbor design for municipal and private clients. Closest direct niche competitor in the U.S. marina/waterfront design market.
• COWI (North America): Global engineering consultancy with a strong marine, coastal, and port infrastructure practice. Competes with Edgewater on breakwater, harbor, and coastal resilience design for public-sector and private clients worldwide.

Broad incumbents

• Tetra Tech: Engineering and consulting firm with deep water, coastal, and environmental practices. Competes with Edgewater on coastal resilience, living shorelines, and waterfront infrastructure for federal, state, and municipal clients.
• AECOM: Global multi-disciplinary AEC firm with a significant marine, port, and coastal practice. Competes with Edgewater on large public waterfront procurements and is often the prime on $50M+ harbor and coastal programs.
• Moffatt & Nichol: Large U.S. marine and waterfront engineering consultancy with global offices. Overlaps directly with Edgewater's marina, harbor, coastal, and port design practices but operates at materially larger scale and broader service breadth.
• WSP USA: Global engineering consultancy with maritime, coastal, and waterfront capability (built from legacy Parsons Brinckerhoff and WSP acquisitions). Overlaps with Edgewater on port, harbor, and shoreline work, but at vastly larger scale and geographic reach.
• Halcrow (Jacobs) Waterfront Practice: Jacobs' maritime and coastal engineering group (incorporating legacy CH2M/Halcrow expertise) competes with Edgewater on large international marina, port, and coastal resilience mandates.

Regional players

• Bellingham Marine: Largest U.S. marina design-build and floating-dock manufacturer; while a design-builder rather than a pure consultancy, it competes for marina design scope and is frequently a contractor on Edgewater-designed projects globally.
