Seawall Construction & Replacement for Palmetto waterfront properties
When a Palmetto 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 Palmetto sites that land equipment cannot. More about seawall construction.
Seawall Construction in Palmetto: what's specific here
What a new Palmetto wall has to meet: City Code Chapter 10 (Coastal Areas and Waterways) defines a seawall as any manmade wall or encroachment to break waves and protect the shore, including retaining walls, revetments and bulkheads; one dock may be permitted as an accessory use to a lawful principal use on contiguous upland; one pair of davits may be built on or next to a seawall if side setbacks are met; owner must privately maintain docks; copies of every outside-agency approval must be filed with the building official. [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: City of Palmetto (Ch. 10) or Manatee County Environmental Planning (LDC 511.17) for unincorporated Snead Island + FDEP + USACE. Manatee County requires an Administrative Permit and separate DEP/COE/SWFWMD permits before any waterfront or erosion-control structure is erected, expanded or reconstructed (LDC 511.17).
