If this sounds like you

You run a commercial marina on Cedar Creek, Lake Palestine, or Richland-Chambers — paid slips, fuel sales, restaurant traffic, and the tournament weekend that pays for half your year. Cedar Creek alone has 320 miles of shoreline and a dozen-plus commercial operators competing for the same DFW weekend traffic 55 miles southeast of Dallas. Every day a slip is unusable, you're losing revenue and risking the lease. You need a sub who can phase work around your operating calendar and hand you closeout paperwork the state inspector signs off on.

What we deliver

Built for commercial marinas

Phased Construction Plans

We sequence demolition and rebuild so paying slips stay leased — and we work November-February when your slip occupancy is at its low.

Hardened Infrastructure

Marine-grade fasteners, steel pipe pilings driven by barge, and decking rated for the daily foot traffic a commercial dock actually sees.

Documented Compliance

TRWD shoreline permits, USACE Section 10/404 filings, and TCEQ paperwork ready for state inspections and insurance-renewal audits.

Slip & Pier Construction

Slip & Pier Construction

Steel-pile floating and fixed slips sized for your boat mix — from 20-ft fishing rigs to 40-ft cruisers.

Channel Dredging

Channel Dredging

Maintenance dredging on a schedule that doesn't strand boats — barge-mobilized for the deeper Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers approaches.

Bulkhead Repair

Bulkhead Repair

Sheet-pile replacement and tie-back rehab for aging marina perimeters, particularly the 1970s/80s installs reaching end-of-life now.
