Marine Construction in CT

Marine construction of residential docks often requires large floating rigs with special equipment to transport materials and drive support piles. The marine contractor builds the dock based on dock design plans issued with DEEP and Army Corps dock permits.

Marine construction of some residential floating docks on small waterways requires land-based equipment and hand-held tools. The marine contractor builds the dock based on dock design plans issued with DEEP and Army Corps dock permits.

Marine construction of fixed docks often requires driving numerous support piles from a floating rig. The marine contractor builds the dock based on dock design plans issued with DEEP and Army Corps dock permits.

Repairing an existing dock requires the marine contractor to make in-place repairs by driving piles and replacing structural members. The marine contractor often repairs the dock under the routine maintenance law, (if it qualifies), the DEEP General Permit for Coastal Maintenance (if it qualifies), or based on dock design plans issued with DEEP and Army Corps dock permits.

Marine construction projects that involve installation of a boat lift or davit require special planning and measurements to customize the equipment to hold and lift the owner's boat. The marine contractor installs the equipment based on boat lift or davit design plans issued with DEEP and Army Corps coastal permits.

Marine construction of marsh boardwalks requires land-based equipment and hand-held tools. Special care must be given to protect the tidal wetland vegetation. The marine contractor builds the boardwalk based on boardwalk design plans issued with DEEP and Army Corps boardwalk permits.

Some marine contractors offer seasonal removal and storage of floating docks to avoid winter ice damage. If your floating dock design includes a suspension chain system, then the marine contractor would raise and secure the dock above the water in the fall and lower it in the spring.

Driving piles in the water is a significant part of the marine construction industry. These piles support fixed docks, restrain floating docks, and serve as outboard tie-off points for boats. Depending on the submerged ground conditions and dock design requirements, these piles would be either pressure treated timber or steel pipe.

Marine construction of bulkheads, like steel sheeting, often requires large floating rigs with special equipment to transport materials and drive the sheets. The marine contractor builds the bulkhead based on bulkhead design plans issued with DEEP and Army Corps bulkhead permits.

Repairing an existing bulkhead requires the marine contractor to make in-place repairs without demolition work. The marine contractor often repairs the bulkhead under the guidance of the DEEP General Permit for Coastal Maintenance (if it qualifies) or individually issued DEEP and Army Corps bulkhead permits.

Marine construction of seawalls, such as concrete retaining walls, often requires heavy equipment staged on land, significant excavation, tying rebar, forming, and pouring concrete. The marine contractor builds the bulkhead based on bulkhead design plans issued with DEEP and Army Corps bulkhead permits.

Repairing an existing seawall requires the marine contractor to make in-place repairs without demolition work. The marine contractor often repairs the seawall under the guidance of the DEEP General Permit for Coastal Maintenance (if it qualifies) or individually issued DEEP and Army Corps seawall permits.
