- FramingThere are two important factors to consider: 1) place it where it allows the safest, securest access from the uplands; and 2) make sure it is long enough to allow for access to the waterway at ALL tidal levels. Doing these two seemingly simple tasks can be harder than you think. It requires proper surveying and soundings of your waterfront which should be done by an expert in the field. We evaluate the potential effects of meteorological events during the design process and that’s why our structures stand out! We incorporate Class B piles, rough-sawn 2.5CCA framing, X-bracing and lots of hurricane fasteners in or piers. We believe in doing it right the first time and that philosophy has served us well. ALL of our piers built in the last 25 years are still standing and doing their intended job.

- DemolitionWe can assist you in designing marine structures which make the best use of your site as well as take into account the unique character of the water body with which it will interact. We use synthetic materials for maintenance-free structures, or heavy-duty traditional materials, while using best management practices to preserve the environment. We are experts in shoreline restoration and stabilization, as well as dredging (tidal and non-tidal), fixed structures and demolition services.
