New Seawall Construction

Custom-engineered seawall systems built to last 50+ years, designed for South Florida's soil conditions, tidal ranges, and current NAVD88 elevation requirements.

New Construction

Built Right the First Time


A seawall done right protects your property for decades. Done wrong, it fails early and costs you twice.

We design and build new seawalls from start to finish: survey, engineering, permits, and installation. We use marine-grade materials like vinyl sheet pile, epoxy-rebar concrete, and stainless tie-backs, all spec'd for South Florida's limestone soil, salt exposure, and current elevation codes. Every job includes permitting, warranty, and as-built docs.

What We Build


Vinyl Sheet Pile Systems

Marine-grade vinyl sheet pile systems that resist salt corrosion, marine borers, and UV degradation. The go-to choice for most South Florida waterfront properties.

Concrete Seawalls

Reinforced concrete seawall systems with epoxy-coated rebar, designed for high-exposure and commercial applications requiring maximum structural mass.

Truline Hybrid Walls

A vinyl form with a steel-reinforced concrete core, delivering concrete strength behind a permanent corrosion barrier, often installed in front of a failing wall.

Tie-Back & Deadman Systems

Engineered anchor systems built into new construction to provide long-term resistance to hydrostatic pressure and soil movement.

Reinforced Cap Installation

Poured concrete caps reinforced with rebar and sealed to prevent water infiltration, built to current elevation codes with finished architectural edges.

Full Permitting Service

We manage all municipal, county, and DEP permits, including engineering drawings and environmental documentation, so you don't navigate the bureaucracy.

Do You Need a New Seawall?

Signs It's Time to Build New


Sometimes repair isn't the answer. These situations indicate you need a new seawall rather than patching an existing one.

  • No seawall exists and your shoreline is actively eroding into the water
  • Your existing seawall is more than 40 years old and showing widespread structural failure
  • Repair costs for your current wall exceed 50 to 60% of replacement cost
  • Your wall does not meet current NAVD88 elevation requirements for flood zone compliance
  • You are building a new waterfront home or adding a dock and need a new wall
Our Process

How We Build Your Seawall


01

Survey

We survey your property, measure water depth and tidal range, assess soil conditions, and review setback and elevation requirements.

02

Engineer

Our team produces a site-specific design specifying material, wall height, tie-back spacing, cap profile, and NAVD88 elevation compliance.

03

Permit

We file and track all municipal, county, and Florida DEP permits. Engineering drawings and environmental documentation are handled by us.

04

Build

Our licensed marine construction crew installs your seawall using the specified materials, driven to proper depth and anchored per the engineering plan.

05

Handover

Final inspection, as-built documentation, warranty package, and a walkthrough of your new seawall with maintenance guidance.

FAQ

Seawall Construction Questions & Answers


Vinyl sheet pile is the most popular choice for South Florida residential seawalls. It's impervious to saltwater corrosion, marine boring organisms, and UV degradation, and typically lasts 50+ years with minimal maintenance. Concrete is preferred for high-traffic, high-exposure, or commercial applications. We recommend the right system based on your specific soil conditions, water exposure, tidal range, and budget during a free consultation.
Once permits are approved, most residential seawall installations take 1 to 2 weeks of active construction, depending on linear footage and site access. The permitting phase, which we manage entirely, typically adds 6 to 16 weeks depending on your municipality. We submit permits immediately after design approval to minimize total project timeline.
New seawall construction in Broward and Palm Beach counties typically ranges from $500 to $1,200 per linear foot installed, depending on material (vinyl vs. concrete), wall height, soil conditions, access for equipment, tie-back requirements, and permitting complexity. We provide detailed, itemized estimates so you know exactly what drives the cost.
NAVD88 (North American Vertical Datum of 1988) is the elevation reference system used in flood zone regulations. Broward and Palm Beach counties require new seawalls to meet minimum cap elevations based on NAVD88 to maintain flood zone compliance and eligibility for flood insurance. Building to current standards now ensures you don't face costly modifications later when code enforcement or insurance requirements tighten.
New seawall construction requires permits from your local municipality (city or county building department), the South Florida Water Management District, and often the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Projects adjacent to navigable waterways may also require Army Corps of Engineers coordination. We handle all of this as part of every project, so you don't need to make a single agency call.
