George, Miles & Buhr, LLC (GMB) provided engineering services for the redevelopment of the Greenbackville Harbor in Accomack County, Virginia. The project included improvement to the harbor’s boat ramp, boarding piers, and protecting the bulkheads system. The bulkhead replacement utilized vinyl sheeting with timber wales and vertical piles.
