Seawall Repair for North Bay Village 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 North Bay Village 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 North Bay Village: what's specific here
The rule in North Bay Village: Ordinance 2021-006 (adopted 2021-03-09) created ULDC Sec. 8.16 'Sea Wall Standards': every property abutting the shoreline must, as part of development or substantial redevelopment, build its seawall to the Moffatt & Nichol Seawall Design Criteria (Oct 19, 2020), which set a minimum cap elevation of 5.94 ft NAVD (7.5 ft NGVD) designed so the cap can be raised another 2.5 ft later without redesign, and require the wall to be engineered for wave impact, surge, overtopping and seepage. [northbayvillage-fl.gov] Which means a repair that keeps the existing wall is often the practical route, and a rebuild has to meet the new elevation.
The village sits entirely on reclaimed land in Biscayne Bay, so its adopted design criteria call shoreline stabilization 'critical infrastructure'; the 2020 engineering memo estimated new walls at $1,800-$3,800 per linear foot depending on type [northbayvillage-fl.gov] That is the kind of water pressure that opens cracks and washes soil out from behind a North Bay Village seawall.
