Seawall Construction & Replacement for Jupiter waterfront properties
When a Jupiter 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 Jupiter sites that land equipment cannot. More about seawall construction.
Seawall Construction in Jupiter: what's specific here
What a new Jupiter wall has to meet: Town Code Sec. 27-2624 (shoreline stabilization, all property on tidal waters): an existing permitted bulkhead may be replaced within 18 inches waterward of the old wall or landward, but a waterward move is allowed only once (as of 2015-06-16); if the new wall's top is more than 3 ft above the mean-high-water elevation, 100% of it must be faced with riprap or mangroves; a bulkhead replacing a revetment must be set back 5 ft landward of the state jurisdictional line or MHWL. [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: Town of Jupiter Building Department + FDEP + USACE (+ SFWMD). Town checklist: engineer-signed plans showing penetration, cap, reinforcing and deadmen; survey showing the mean high water line in NAVD88; cap elevation at or below base flood elevation; a one-time 18-inch waterward move. FDEP: F.S. [jupiter.fl.us]
