Sheet Pile Docks

The successful design and construction of a sheet pile bulkhead in a marine environment requires careful consideration of a wide range of variables including but not limited to:  water depth,  tidal fluctuation, ice forces, ship draft, soil conditions, bed rock conditions, corrosion considerations, site access, etc. Because of the wide range of design and construction variables, no single sheet piling system is applicable to every site. We have a proven record of evaluating site conditions and developing appropriate sheet pile designs for marine applications across the State of Alaska. We employ a variety of site evaluation methods in developing sheet pile bulkhead designs including on-shore drilling, off-shore drilling, and geophysics. We have successfully designed and coordinated the construction of several sheet pile bulkheads in very remote Alaskan locations with harsh weather conditions such as the infamous Aleutian Islands.
