Seawall Construction & Replacement for Boca Raton waterfront properties
When a Boca Raton seawall is past repairing, the job becomes a replacement: the old wall comes out and a new one goes in. We design, build, remove and repair seawalls and coastal structures, and we work closely with licensed engineers to evaluate the site and settle on the design.
Walls are built in engineered sheetpile, concrete and timber, and the shoreline work extends to riprap revetments, jetties and breakwaters. The design follows the site: soil conditions, water depth and the layout of the property. Materials run to concrete, vinyl, steel and composite systems.
We manage the project end to end, from site assessment and engineered design through permitting support, construction and the post-construction inspection. Our marine-capable equipment includes crane barges and work barges, which let us reach Boca Raton sites that land equipment cannot. More about seawall construction.
Seawall Construction in Boca Raton: what's specific here
What a new Boca Raton wall has to meet: City Code Ch. 22 (Marine Structures), Sec. 22-33: no bulkhead or retaining wall may be built in the waters of Lake Boca Raton at an elevation lower than +5.00 ft above mean low water (a 1966-era rule; it is not stated in NAVD88 and applies only to Lake Boca Raton). [library.municode.com] A repair can keep an existing wall as it stands; a replacement is new construction, so it is built to the current standard.
Permits: City of Boca Raton Development Services + FDEP + USACE. City: survey, section details, location survey before cap, final engineer report with cap elevation; Lake Boca Raton walls at least +5.00 ft above MLW. [myboca.us]
