Our specialty

Eco-Friendly Piers

We specialize in constructing all our piers in the shop, allowing us to efficiently load them onto the barge for installation with a crane after the pilings are set.

Quality-driven pier construction, built with fewer pilings

Our engineered beams enable long spans without the need for middle pilings or supports, promoting eco-friendliness by allowing natural sea flow and reducing debris while also providing a cost-effective solution.

  • All piers are constructed in-house for quality assurance.
  • Engineered beams span up to 50 feet without middle pilings or supports.
  • Better natural water flow beneath the structure.
  • Reduced debris buildup around pilings.
  • Fewer unnecessary pilings in the water.
  • Efficient barge loading and crane installation once pilings are set.
  • Durable, cost-effective construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes these piers eco-friendly?

Fewer pilings. Our engineered beams span up to 50 feet without middle pilings or supports, which allows natural sea flow to continue beneath the pier and reduces debris collecting around posts.

Why build the pier in the shop?

Building in-house lets us control quality and work in a controlled setting rather than fighting weather and tide. The finished sections are then loaded onto the barge and set with the crane.

Is a long-span pier more expensive?

Fewer pilings means less in-water work, which keeps the approach cost-effective. Cost depends on the site, so we quote after seeing it.

Can this approach work on my shoreline?

It depends on the layout, depth and exposure of your site. Send us photos or give Mark a call and we'll tell you what would suit the location.
