Seawall Construction & Replacement for Delray Beach waterfront properties
When a Delray Beach 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 Delray Beach sites that land equipment cannot. More about seawall construction.
Seawall Construction in Delray Beach: what's specific here
What a new Delray Beach wall has to meet: LDR Sec. 7.1.7 (Ord. 23-21, adopted 2022-01-11): minimum seawall elevation 4.2 ft NAVD88 where the property's BFE is 5.0 ft NAVD88 or higher (maximum = the property's BFE); where the BFE is 4.0 ft NAVD88 the maximum is 5 ft NAVD88; in X zones the wall meets the LDR definition of grade.

City minimum 4.2 ft NAVD88 with future-raise design to 5 ft; after a citation for flooding from a deficient wall, owners must show progress within 60 days and finish repairs within 365 days, and sellers must disclose the seawall standard to buyers (secondary report).
