Project Summary

ATM worked on the planning and conceptual design of a luxury resort marina associated with the Scrub Island Resort in the BVI. This is the first new facility built in 20 years. Scrub Island is a 230-acre island just northeast of Tortola, in close proximity to the Beef Island and Trellis Bay. Mainsail Development Group, Inc. retained ATM to provide marina planning and design services to the project development team. The final concept includes a 67-slip fixed pier marina, marina utilities, breakwater protection, as well as barge landing and coastal improvements. The marina compliments the boutique resort which includes hotel, multi-family and single family estate residences, spa, restaurant, and marina village. The site will cater to sportfishing enthusiasts, as Scrub Island Marina will be the closest full-service facility to the famed North Drop, which is the location of the Virgin Islands' best billfishing. The marina will accommodate vessels to 150 ft and includes a full compliment of utilities.

ATM also completed the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in accordance with the Terms of Reference (TOR) established by the Town and Country Planning Department. The EIA work included:

Terrestrial and marine biological characterizations
Bathymetric and oceanographic surveys and geotechnical investigations
Hydrodynamic, wave, and water quality modeling
Quantification of potential environmental impacts of the project
Development of monitoring and mitigation planning, including coral and seagrass transplanting
Public consultation support

As part of the approvals process, ATM also provided technical support to the development team during Government liasions and numerous meetings. Following approvals, ATM completed schematic design for
the marina elements in conjunction with development of a design-build approach to project construction. ATM has also provided support to the project team during pre-construction monitoring efforts, in compliance with the Government approvals. Site infrastructure construction is underway, with marina construction anticipated in 2007.
