Seawall Construction & Replacement for Palm Beach waterfront properties
When a Palm 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 Palm Beach sites that land equipment cannot. More about seawall construction.
Seawall Construction in Palm Beach: what's specific here
What a new Palm Beach wall has to meet: Town Code Ch. 62, Art. III (Bulkheads and Pierheads on Lake Worth): Sec. 62-75 requires the west face of bulkheads to sit on the designated bulkhead line and says the elevation of the top and bottom of bulkheads is 'governed by sound engineering recommendations' approved by the town engineer (no numeric NAVD88 minimum); walls must be impervious to sand. [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.
