COMMERCIAL SEAWALL

What's Included in a Seawall Inspection?

Our Commercial Seawall Inspection is one of the most complete underwater seawall inspections in the Market. Our scope will involve the following:

1. First we will measure and draw a map of your seawall.
2. We will describe to you the type of Seawall or marine construction that you have. T-Pile, Coral Rock, King Pile, Aluminum, or Wood Seawall.
3. We will assess the landside for signs of erosion, soil de-stabilization, and structural deterioration.
4. We will inspect the seawall components, including but not limited to the seawall cap, bulkhead, panels, pilings, footings, and any other components which is visible from the landside of the structure.
5. We will scuba dive or free dive the bottom and assess the seawall cap, bulkhead, panels, pilings, footings, and any other components which is visible from the water side of the structure.
6. We will take extensive photos and record underwater video of the seawall or dock to show you what he sees in a report that you can access online.
7. We will mark the wall with flags and spray paint the areas that needs to be maintained or repaired. We will remove the flags or spray paint from the structure.

​The costs involved in repairing or replacing commercial seawalls can be substantial.

• Condominium Associations in beautiful South Florida need to inspect their seawalls regularly.
• Most condominium seawalls in South Florida ere built in early 50's and if they are not crumbling, they need to be maintained to prevent collapse and major expense.
• Our Seawall Inspectors offers yearly maintenance inspection services for seawalls without the conflict of interest commonly known of marine contractors in South Florida.
• We are often retained by Condo Boards, Marine Contractors, and even Structural Engineers to inspect Seawalls and Docks because they know we have no stake in their seawall.
