Seawall Repair for Coral Gables 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 Coral Gables 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 Coral Gables: what's specific here
The rule in Coral Gables: No Coral Gables minimum seawall elevation ordinance was found. [ordinancewatch.com] Which means a repair that keeps the existing wall is often the practical route, and a rebuild has to meet the new elevation.
Four city tide stations log water levels every 15 minutes in NAVD88 along the Waterway and at Cocoplum [coralgables.com] That is the kind of water pressure that opens cracks and washes soil out from behind a Coral Gables seawall.
Permits: City of Coral Gables Building (FBC Residential: Seawalls/Bulkheads) + Public Works + Miami-Dade DERM (RER) Class I + FDEP. Mangroves along the wall are protected under state law; most trimming needs a county-certified trimmer, with fines up to $100 per mangrove illegally trimmed and $250 per mangrove illegally altered.
