Scope of Work

Revit Modeling and Technical Drafting
Gabriela rebuilt the site using as-built data, historical notes, and field observations to create a precise 3D model that represents existing conditions, mitigation requirements, and proposed interventions.
The 3D model was used to optimize mitigation improvements and design iterations two to three times, ensuring accuracy, buildability, and alignment with environmental goals before final submission.

Storyboard Documentation
A “storyboard” approach connects the site’s past, present, and future, including unrecorded structures, expired permits, and approved mitigation work, helping stakeholders and agencies understand the complete project history.

Regenerative Engineering Design
The project incorporates innovative shoreline protection systems such as:

• Pleated AYC (Armor-Yield Concrete) Wall: Dissipates wave energy and preserves fish habitat while reducing erosion over time. By Steven P. Morta - PE.

• Elastic Mooring Dock System: Uses augers and flexible moorings that adapt naturally to lake level changes. By Seaflex.inc

Outcome

The 3D model provides visual clarity and technical accuracy, reducing back-and-forth with regulatory agencies and helping secure approvals for long-term shoreline protection.

Steve Morta commended Gabriela’s work for “literally taking what’s inside my brain and putting it on paper at light speed,” noting that the precision and clarity achieved make the project far easier for owners and regulators to understand.

This collaboration demonstrates how Engineer Artists combines environmental restoration, engineering innovation, and visual communication to deliver regenerative, buildable, and compliant shoreline solutions.
