Trust this there are at least ten companies already working on a plan and design as of today.
One thing that will be addressed is prevention by way of Fender Barriers or Piers will not be overlooked as to expensive addition this time.....

I'm a retired structural engineer and both of my sons are also civil engineers. No shortage of engineers in the DMV. Bechtel has a huge presence in Reston, VA, for example. Lots of others too. Also, the Baltimore District of the Corps of Engineers is right there, though their involvement will likely be limited to clean-up and restoration of the shipping channel and removal of the ship. The subsequent construction will be interesting to watch.
