Services
Custom Dock Construction
We design and install custom docks using modular aluminum framing and marine-grade materials. Each structure is pre-built in our shop for precision assembly on-site, ensuring durability against coastal conditions. Projects include integration with Sea Power HDPE float systems and ADA-compliant access features.
Seawall Construction
Our seawalls combine marine-treated timbers and driven piles to create erosion-resistant barriers. Systems are engineered for site-specific conditions including soil type and tidal patterns, with optional upland transitions to existing dock structures.
Floating Dock Systems
Precision-welded aluminum floating docks adapt to fluctuating water levels. Features include internal surge-protected float guides, composite decking options, and seamless integration with fixed dock systems for residential and commercial applications.
Permitting Coordination
Full-service permitting through SCDHEC, Army Corps of Engineers, and local HOAs. Our team manages site layouts, engineer coordination, and compliance documentation to expedite approvals for coastal construction projects.
Aluminum Walkways
Corrosion-resistant aluminum walkways provide durable access across marshes, tidal creeks, and upland properties. Systems feature composite decking and engineered supports for long-term performance in coastal environments.
