Preparing the Waterfront for What’s Next

What does it take to help shape the future of San Francisco’s waterfront?

Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) has supported many marine projects in the Bay Area, providing structural and building enclosure engineering as part of broader efforts to strengthen infrastructure and support long-term resilience.

Hear from Julie Galbraith, Max Argo, and James Mendygral about how working in a waterfront environment requires balancing complex considerations—from seismic performance and saltwater exposure to evolving development needs. It also relies on bringing together diverse expertise to help owners, agencies, and project teams navigate challenges and make informed decisions.

Through this work, we’re helping create a waterfront that can better support the city, its communities, and future generations.
