Services
Dock Construction
Custom dock construction using engineered lumber and composite materials ensures lasting waterfront access. Our designs comply with municipal regulations while maximizing usability for recreational and commercial purposes. Expert teams handle permitting, installation, and maintenance for residential and industrial clients.
Boat Lifts
Neptune boat lift installations protect vessels from 1,500 to 120,000 lbs. Our solutions include 4-post, elevator, and beamless models tailored to boat size and water conditions. Professional engineers ensure proper weight capacity and corrosion-resistant construction for long-term reliability.
Seawall Repair
Vinyl and riprap seawall construction prevents shoreline erosion using helical tiebacks and concrete caps. We assess structural integrity and recommend reinforcement methods that combine aesthetic appeal with functional protection against wave impact and soil displacement.
Foundation Repairs
Helical pier systems reinforce sinking foundations with minimal soil disturbance. Our underpinning solutions address poor ground conditions using square and round shaft options. Professional engineers oversee installations to restore structural integrity for residential and commercial buildings.
Commercial Underpinning
Advanced underpinning techniques address foundation settlement in industrial facilities. We employ helical micropiles and soil nailing methods to support heavy structures. Our engineers develop customized solutions for challenging ground conditions beneath existing commercial properties.
