Our seawalls are designed to withstand severe ice
conditions.

A steel pier in Mullet Lake, Michigan.
Our seawalls and marine structures survive the harshest
elements nature can give them. This steel pier will
withstand ice expansion and Ice flows that will move homes
off their foundations. We take great pride in the
designing and building these structures for our clients.
Notice the angle of the wall. This allows the ice to turn
up the wall. Without this angle the pressures from
ice expansion could damage the pier. After a
backing of specially placed reinforcement, prefabricated
steel corners, and 85 cubic yards of cement, the new pier
is formed.

Vinyl seawalls are another choice for
erosion control. This material comes in colors, with a
similar look to steel however does not rust. Vinyl seawall
material comes in different lengths and thicknesses that
match job requirements. This material is good for
retaining walls on land as well.
|
Notice the tiebacks on this vinyl seawall.
Each tie back consists of a twelve foot steel 5/8" rod on
six foot centers, connected to a buried steel anchor. A
2x12 cap board finishes off the top of the wall.
