At Custom Dock Works, we specialize in piling installation in the area.
When structures are built, the process typically starts with the placement of a foundation. This addition, typically created with a concrete slab, helps to transfer the building’s weight to the ground and helps it to stand tall. However, when building something that will be in water, a concrete foundation isn’t a good option. Despite its durability, concrete is highly porous. Being submerged in water would also disrupt the curing process, so it would never fully set up. Rather than using concrete slabs in waterfront construction, experienced technicians take a different approach.
Piling installation involves driving large posts or poles into the ground. These components sit below the seabed for sufficient strength and support. When constructing a dock directly on the water, piling installation is a vital step in the process. Failing to secure the dock properly could result in it being washed away when the waves come in. At Custom Dock Works, we specialize in piling installation in the Lake Norman, North Carolina area. Our technicians are highly trained in this process, utilizing best practices for safety and durability. When we construct a dock for a client, we want it to feel secure and remain in place for years to come.
In addition to handling piling installation, we are available to tackle all aspects of dock construction. Our technicians can also perform repairs and maintenance on existing docks, as well as add accessories to improve the functionality of your dock.
