Seawall Construction & Replacement for Miami waterfront properties
When a Miami 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 Miami sites that land equipment cannot. More about seawall construction.
Seawall Construction in Miami: what's specific here
What a new Miami wall has to meet: City Code Ch. 29 Art. III (Bulkheads, Seawalls, Living Shorelines) as amended by the 2020 ordinance (File 7338): new and reconstructed seawalls, bulkheads and living shorelines in tidally influenced areas must be built to a minimum 6 ft NAVD88 and designed so they can be raised to 8 ft NAVD88; properties fronting the Miami River follow Sec. 54-46 (4.0 ft NAVD88, raisable at least 2 ft). [miami.gov] A repair can keep an existing wall as it stands; a replacement is new construction, so it is built to the current standard.
