Marty Mulcahy

Marty is a Principal Coastal Engineer at International Coastal Management (ICM), where he has been an integral part of the team since 2011. With over a decade of experience in coastal engineering, Marty has built a reputation for his expertise in designing, managing, and delivering complex coastal projects across Australia, the Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East.

As ICM’s resident expert in rock wall and revetment engineering, Marty specialises in the design and construction of robust coastal protection structures that safeguard communities and infrastructure from erosion and storm damage. His in-depth understanding of materials, including rock and geotextile systems, has been instrumental in creating solutions that balance durability, functionality, and environmental sensitivity. Marty’s portfolio includes an impressive array of seawall, revetment, and groyne projects, tailored to the unique challenges of each site.

Based on the Gold Coast, Australia, Marty’s work reflects a deep commitment to developing best-practice coastal management strategies that protect and enhance our beaches and waterfronts. His hands-on approach spans all phases of a project, from site investigations and engineering design to construction supervision and post-project monitoring. Marty’s attention to detail and ability to manage complex fieldwork ensure that every project is executed with precision and care.

Marty’s contributions extend beyond engineering, as he is passionate about mentoring emerging professionals and building innovation in coastal protection techniques. His work exemplifies ICM’s mission to deliver resilient, sustainable solutions that meet the needs of both the environment and coastal communities.
