Seawall Repair for Lake Worth Beach 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 Lake Worth Beach 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 Lake Worth Beach: what's specific here
The rule in Lake Worth Beach: City Code Sec. 22-1 establishes a bulkhead line for all sovereign tidal waters in the city (running along the Lakeside Drive shoreline); since 1959-08-13 no fill or extension of land may be made on the channel side of that line, and no filling or dredging on the landward side without written approval from the necessary authorities; building islands or extending land landward of the line requires city commission approval. [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.
