High Quality Construction Design Solutions For Residential & Commercial Developments


EF Douglas & Associates was formed as a small consulting team in March 2010, by its founder Errol Douglas who saw the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the consulting engineering practices in St. Kitts and Nevis. Having worked on projects of national significance, clarity was brought to the fact that engineering design solutions had to be efficient and sustainable and promote future development and growth. In 2011 Grenville Phillips a senior structural engineer began working as a consultant to the small firm to improve the firm’s capacity to address the increasing demands of its clientele.

The firm currently employs two full-time civil engineers and consults with various international consulting firms and individuals for cost-effective and competitive design solutions and project delivery based on needs. The philosophy of a small core staff with access to experts in various fields has given the firm the flexibility to execute very complex and demanding designs and supervision on various projects in the twin-island state. The firm’s principal and founder have had over thirty-seven (37) years of experience in the civil and structural engineering design, construction, and engineering field in the local and regional environment. The firm has a combined experience of sixty-eight (68) years of experience in the construction industry. EF Douglas & Associates has provided civil, structural engineering design and supervision for single projects valued in excess of US$75m.

With longer and harsher winters each year, we are experiencing many structural issues with existing sea walls. We offer design and installation solutions to improve the structural integrity of your sea wall while providing you with plantings that will help protect it in the future.

Steel Seawalls Steel seawalls have a long service life and assist to protect the shoreline from erosion. There isn’t any upkeep necessary. Steel seawalls are highly robust and are one of the finest choices for a heavy-duty wall.


Break Water Construction Breakwaters are used to protect shorelines and harbors. Breakwaters are constructions constructed along coastlines to shelter beaches, dunes, ports, and bluffs from incoming waves. Because of the enormous expense of creating offshore breakwaters, the majority of them are built to defend the shoreline as well as provide navigational aids. EF Douglas and Associates is an able construction company that has been in existence in the field for years. We specialize in breakwater construction and maintenance, and we’re fortunate to be able to service the majority of the locations in St. Kitts & Nevis and beyond. Keeping Harbors and Ships Safe Building an underwater wall or a natural barrier such as a reef can safeguard harbors and ships’ anchorages. A rock barrier can be used to improve or extend other breakwaters. Geotextile Tubes Southern Dredging & Marine Geotextile Tubes and Bags are UV resistant sand-colored geotextile containers that are filled with sand either hydraulically or mechanically and utilized to defend the shoreline instead of stone, concrete, or other hardened systems. They are particularly essential in areas with little native stone or when a stone or concrete construction would detract from the area’s natural charm. Our Geotextile Tubes are classified as “soft” armored constructions, making them easier to get permits than hard armored structures like concrete or riprap.
