Precast concrete seawall
Precast Concrete panels
Concrete seawall are individually engineered and installed to fit the conditions of each property. Concrete seawalls range in height from 10′ to 20’+ and in thickness from 6″ to 8″+.
A new concrete seawall has a 40-50 year life expectancy.
We begin by precasting concrete seawall slabs on site. After these slabs have cured, we lift them by crane and using high pressure water pumps, we install the panels. After the panels have been set, we form and pour a concrete seawall cap with tiebacks and deadmen. After the seawall cap has cured, we back fill the dirt behind the completed seawall. The construction duration of a seawall is 6-10 weeks with curing time depending on the total footage.
shoreguard vinyl sheetpile
Sheet Piling also known as Synthetic Sheet Piling, Plastic Sheet Piles, PVC Sheet Piles are becoming increasingly popular for the construction of bulkheads, seawalls, cut-off and containment barriers due to their:
50+ year design life - Due to its superior corrosion resistance, ESC Vinyl Sheet Piles can be installed with the confidence of performance even after 50 years.
Cost Efficiency - both from installation and long term cost savings due to superior corrosion resistance.
Consistent Appearance - Wood fades, paint chips and steel rusts with time. With Vinyl sheet piles, this problem is virtually eliminated so a lasting, aesthetic finish of vinyl sheet piles can be expected.
UV Resistance - The PVC material can be engineered to be resistant to the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.
tru-line seawall
The Truline system is the latest innovation in seawall, bulkhead and retaining wall construction in over 30 years. It combines the best attributes of traditional steel, concrete and vinyl materials into one ultimate wall system.
Truline is the only system for building an 8" steel-reinforced concrete wall inside a modular and protective vinyl form. As a result, the strength of the wall (steel and concrete) will last longer because it is protected inside the form. When properly designed and installed, the wall will last 75+ years based on independent testing and analysis.
No other product or seawall system on the market provides all of these benefits together:
strength, longevity & performance
smooth, flat & aesthetically-pleasing
sheet piling forms made with post-industrial recycled material
steel sheet pile
The main advantage of steel sheet piles is its applicability for a wide variety of engineering projects. In addition to that, steel sheet piles would potentially require less installation time as compared to reinforced concrete for retaining wall applications, where curing of the concrete would take several days prior to the next pouring activities. Sheet piles are also generally lighter than reinforced concrete and can be transported more easily. 20-50 year life span depending on maintenance.
