Fixed Docks

Fixed docks are permanently installed structures supported by pilings driven into the river’s bottom or other water’s bottom. They provide a stable, sturdy platform that doesn’t move with the water, making them ideal for areas with water levels. Fixed docks are highly durable and customizable. Which makes them perfect for long-term waterfront access.


Floating Docks

(Wood / Aluminum)

Floating docks rise and fall with changing water levels, making them a great solution for fluctuating shorelines. We offer both wood or aluminum framing and decking options, such as wood for a classic look and aluminum for low maintenance and longevity. These docks provide flexibility, durability, and easy access in a wide range of conditions.

Commercial Docks

Our commercial dock systems are built to handle high traffic, heavy loads, and long-term use. Ideal for marinas, waterfront businesses, and public access points; these docks are engineered for safety, durability, and compliance with local regulations. We tailor each project to meet your needs.

BOAT RAMPS

Boat ramps provide safe and reliable access to the water for launching and retrieving vessels. We design and install ramps suited to your shoreline, water conditions, and usage needs, ensuring durability, and ease of use.

Boat ramps provide reliable water access for launching and retrieving vessels and can be tailored to your shoreline and usage needs.

Types & Options:

  • Concrete ramps (most durable)
  • Reinforced slab ramps
  • Private vs. commercial-grade ramps
  • C block and sand ramps

RIP RAP

Rip rap consists of strategically placed stone used to prevent or assist in limiting shoreline erosion. This solution helps stabilize banks, reduce runoff impact, and protect your property from water damage while maintaining a natural appearance.

Rip rap uses strategically placed stone to prevent shoreline erosion and absorb wave energy.

Types & Options:

  • Stone Size Variations: Small, medium, large, extra-extra-large armor stone
  • Filter Fabric Underlayment (prevents soil washout)
  • Layered systems for high-energy shorelines
  • A combination of decorative and functional installations

GROINS

A wooden dock by Delta Marine extends over green water, leading from a shoreline with a wooden staircase up a grassy hill to houses with large decks and lawn areas.

Groins are structures built perpendicular to the shoreline to control erosion and manage sediment movement. They help retain sand and stabilize waterfront areas, making them especially useful in areas prone to wave action. Great for assisting in growing a beach area!

Groins are built perpendicular to the shoreline to control erosion and trap sediment.

Types & Options:

  • Timber groins
  • Vinyl/PVC sheet groins
  • Rock groins
  • Single or segmented groin systems

SEAWALLS

Seawalls are engineered barriers designed to protect your shoreline from erosion and wave damage. Built from materials like vinyl, concrete, or timber, seawalls provide long-term stability and can significantly extend the usable life of your waterfront property. This structure is used when rip rap is not suitable.

Seawalls are structural barriers that protect your shoreline from erosion, wave action, and water damage.

Types & Options:

  • Vinyl (Most Common):

    • Requires more maintenance
    • Maximum ensured lifespan of 15 years in the Chesapeake Bay Area
  • Concrete:
    • Extremely durable
    • Ideal for high-impact areas
    • Needs precise installation
  • Steel:
    • Heavy-duty, commercial applications, and residential
