Blue Arc Request a Consultation

Florida marine, coastal, and civil engineering.

We know the agencies. We move the permits. We keep your build on schedule.

We'll ask about project type, location, timeline, and current permit status.

Services

Three disciplines, one team, one timeline.

Permitting, design, and construction administration. From pre-application through closeout.

Dock construction, marina expansion, seawall design, mooring systems. Built for the developers and contractors moving Florida's working waterfront forward.

Example project:
Marina expansion
Agencies:
USACE, FDEP

Coastal

Shoreline stabilization, CCCL permitting, beach restoration, dune protection. The technical work that keeps Florida's coast standing through the next storm.

Example project:
Shoreline stabilization
Agencies:
FDEP, CCCL

Civil & Environmental

Site development, stormwater, environmental permitting, water management district coordination. Engineering that gets the project entitled and through the gate.

Example project:
Site development
Agencies:
SFWMD, SWFWMD, county reviewers

Why Blue Arc

Three things we do that most engineering firms don't.

01

We know your agencies.

Twenty-plus years of FDEP, USACE, and Water Management District work behind us. When a county reviewer wants something different, we know what they want before they ask.

02

We move your timeline.

The permit timeline is the build timeline. We treat it that way. Pre-application meetings, proactive submittals, weekly check-ins on every active file.

03

We pick up the phone.

Same-day callbacks. Transparent status updates. When something goes sideways, we tell you first.

The Team

Engineers who run engineering firms.

Not a holding company. The people running each Blue Arc project are the people whose names are on the door.

Featured Project

[Marina restoration — project name TBD]

[Location TBD, Southwest Florida]  ·  [Year]

The challenge

[Placeholder — verify with Kelly] A two-county jurisdictional gap between FDEP and the local water management district stalled the original permit for 14 weeks. The build crew had been demobilized twice. Owner was facing seasonal weather windows closing.

What Blue Arc did

[Placeholder — verify with Kelly] Re-scoped the submittal package for parallel review across three agencies. Ran weekly pre-application calls. Translated agency feedback into actionable redlines within 48 hours of receipt.

The result

[Placeholder — verify with Kelly] Final permit issued 6 weeks after re-engagement. Build crew remobilized inside the original tide window. Owner protected the seasonal opening date.
