Project Estimator

Wayfarer's technology is easily applied to a wide range of estuary, open bay and open ocean shoreline environments.  Our oyster reef product technology and topology can be adapted to meet most shoreline conservation goals.  This Wayfarer project estimate calculator serves as an initial guide to estimate the possible range of costs for an installed Wayfarer reef.  The calculator's results are estimates based on strategic shoreline environmental assumptions.  Once you've completed your estimate, please click the 'Request more Information' button to contact Wayfarer Environmental Technologies for a more detailed estimate based on your specific project requirements, constraints and goals.

Primary Objective

  • Create an oyster reef: Your shoreline protection reef design primarily creates new oyster reef habitat (either subtidal or intertidal) with optional shoreline protection. 
  • Shoreline Protection: You are prepared to 'let the oysters do the work' resulting in less initial wave attentuation which will increase over time as the reef forms.
  • Strict wave attenuation: You need a very robust semi-artificial reef sea wall designed to product wave attentuation right away.

Estimate Your Wayfarer Reef

The Wayfarer Shoreline Protection Project Estimator produces a project installed cost estimate based on the following parameters.  All other information is related documentation for your inquiry.

You may recalculate your estimate as needed.  Click the 'Request More Information' button to complete your inquiry.

Input parameters:

  • Project Length - The target length of your shoreline protection structure.
  • Primary objective - Select from 'Create an oyster reef', Shoreline Protection, or Sea Wall
  • Shoreline Protection - Yes or No.  Only considered if your primary objective is 'Create an oyster reef'
  • Wave Fetch - Unencumbered distance from the shoreline for wave generation.
  • Segment Gap Length - The design length of periodic segment gaps designed into the OysterBreak structure.
  • Segment Gap Interval - The distance between segment gaps.

Depth of Water - Reef component placements are optimized based on designed unit height.  Whether your project requires a single reef component layer or multiple layers the distance from shore is engineered so that units are marginally above high tide levels. 

The Wayfarer calculator is provided as an instructional guide for preliminary design cost purposes. This tool is not to be construed as and is not quoted as a final or actual design price. Once you've run your calculations you may complete page two of the form by clicking the 'Request more Information' button which sends us your project information and calculator results. We will then contact you to discuss and optimize the most effective use of Wayfarer's shoreline protection technology in your conservation or mitigation application.

These estimates are based on standard Wayfarer units.  Units may be custom manufactured to meet specific project cost and performance objectives.
