Abstract:
The EPX2 Resilient Waterfront Platform is a new and useful process, a resilient building technology that provides for the efficient adaptation and safeguard of waterfronts against adverse events. It is an optimized, elevated Waterfront Resiliency infrastructure solution that is legible, practical, high quality, highly efficient, and deployable, and provides a timely go-to standard for new and existing Waterfront communities and historic districts at risk to Climate Change. One purpose of this resilient building technology is to improve public safety and minimize property damage in response to accelerating climate change forces, including seismic, flooding, and sea level rise. The platform assembly is comprised of several components including elevated sea walls, wharves, piers, buildings, accessways and the rehabilitation of historic architecture components, as applicable. It is an effective, practical, and permanent solution to resist natural forces, while providing a modernized platform for a variety of waterfront experiences.
