New Piling Installation
Wood, concrete, or composite pilings driven to refusal from our own crane barge — on our schedule, not a rental window.
Pilings: driven from our own barge
New pilings, replacements under existing docks, and protective wraps — driven and set from our own crane barge, on our schedule instead of a rental window.
The Foundation
The part of the dock that does all the work
Everything on your waterfront stands on pilings — the dock, the lift, the boat on the lift.
In our water the threats are marine borers eating unprotected wood from the inside and section loss at the waterline where wet-dry cycling is constant. Both develop quietly over years, and both are manageable: wraps stop borer attack on sound piles, and individual piles can be replaced under an existing dock without rebuilding it.
What We Do
Driven, replaced, and protected
Piling Replacement
Replacement beneath existing docks and lifts, one pile or a full set, with the deck sectioned locally and restored.
HDPE Piling Wraps
Wraps that seal sound piles against marine borer damage — stopping borer attack before it hollows a pile from the inside.
Below-Waterline Inspections
Piling inspections with photos, so you know what you're standing on before you invest in decking or a lift above it.
Know Before You Build
What you're standing on
Below-waterline piling inspections with photos let you know what you're standing on before you invest in decking or a lift above it. Planning a project on top? See composite docks, wood docks, boat lifts, or the full dock construction overview.
FAQ
Piling Questions & Answers
Unprotected wood in warm salt water is on borrowed maintenance; wrapped or naturally durable piles serve for decades. Concrete and composite piles trade higher cost for the longest service lives. Material choice is a budget-and-exposure decision we'll walk through.
Usually, yes — individual piles are extracted and re-driven with the deck sectioned locally and restored. It's routine work from a barge.
Visible necking or hourglassing at the waterline, soft wood you can probe at low tide, and movement in the dock above. If you've noticed any of these, an inspection will tell you whether it's one pile or a pattern — most cases caught early are small jobs.
