A port is more than an engineering structure or a transport node – it is a point of connection between people and water.
Port infrastructure development is receiving increasing attention worldwide, not only to enhance economic, transport and tourism functions, but also to support recreational and leisure-oriented use.
Over the past two centuries, river and lake regulation practices have in many places restricted broader public access to natural waters.
Today, the relationship between people and water is once again coming into focus, creating demand for sport boating and small craft harbours alongside commercial and transport-related uses.
Contemporary port development is therefore also about restoring this relationship – creating spaces where water becomes accessible again.
Engineering expertise and development mindset
Realiscon’s port design services sit at the intersection of engineering precision, real estate development experience and sustainability expertise.
Our specialist designers and project managers approach hydraulic engineering, utility infrastructure, transport engineering, civil and architectural disciplines as an integrated system, ensuring that ports function not only technically, but also as part of their surrounding ecosystem.
Areas of expertise
- Port development concept design
- Port planning and design
- Design of water-related facilities
- Planning of port infrastructure connections
- Basin shaping and shoreline reconstruction design
- Preparation of permitting and detailed design documentation
- Project delivery support and technical supervision
Nature-based development concept
Beyond improving quality of life and the economic impact of port facilities, direct physical access to water also strengthens people’s connection to nature.
A well-designed port creates economic, social and ecological value – providing experience for users, opportunity for communities, and security for the environment.
In our work, a nature-based approach is not an aesthetic choice, but a responsibility: preserving the condition of natural waters, protecting shoreline ecosystems and safeguarding water quality are fundamental requirements of every development.
Port concept development
- We align green and blue infrastructure development with regional water management considerations,
- We propose modern, low-impact solutions for stormwater and wastewater systems,
- We develop shoreline and riverbed works with a focus on ecological stability.
Experience and expertise
Realiscon has many years of experience in the design, authority permitting and construction supervision of lake, river and industrial ports.
Our specialist designers hold the necessary professional qualifications and regulatory authorisations, enabling us to manage projects across all phases – from preparation through to construction.
As part of the design process, we prepare all required documentation
- Surveys, reports and impact assessments required for establishment permits
- Preliminary Assessment Documentation (Előzetes Vizsgálati Dokumentáció – EVD)
- Environmental Impact Assessments
- Water rights, transport, electrical and utility permitting documentation
- Detailed design documentation for hydraulic engineering, landscape architecture, road, public utilities, archaeological exploration.
- In addition, we support the extension of operating permits for existing ports, including the preparation of supporting documentation and the coordination of authority approval procedures.
