Seawall Repair for Boca Raton waterfront properties
Langley Coastal has a variety of tried and true methods for repairing and restoring all types of seawalls. First, we identify what issues your Boca Raton seawall is having, with thorough inspections that include underwater photos and videos of its condition and potential repair methods.
Then we recommend the repair: simple hydraulic cement crack repairs, major repairs with new forms and rebar, or high-density polyurethane foam injection. To stop water and sediment flowing through fractures or voids in the footer, we use NCFI's Terra-Lok™ foam.
Making the necessary repairs as quickly as possible can reduce the need for heavily intrusive excavating in the future and save money. More about seawall repair.
Seawall Repair in Boca Raton: what's specific here
The rule in Boca Raton: 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] Which means a repair that keeps the existing wall is often the practical route, and a rebuild has to meet the new elevation.
NOAA tidal datums at Boca Raton, Lake Boca Raton (station 8722816): mean range 2.19 ft, diurnal range 2.47 ft (smaller than the 2.7-ft range at the Lake Worth Inlet) [api.tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov] That is the kind of water pressure that opens cracks and washes soil out from behind a Boca Raton seawall.
