In many cases a complete sea wall replacement
may not be necessary. Often a new concrete seawall cap combined with structural tie-backs can be designed and installed to provide many additional years of storm and erosion protection.

Rip-Rap Retaining Seawall Blocks - Kettles Marine Construction in Tampa Bay Florida AreaRip-Rap Seawall

Another alternative may
be the installation of
“Rip-Rap” seawall.
Rip-rap is simply the placing of boulders,
rock or chunks of concrete blocks at the base of an existing seawall to help prevent a blowout of the wall. Used in conjunction with a new cap and anchors, the retaining seawall blocks could provide new life to your
old seawall.

Dock Building Renovations - Kettles Marine Construction in Tampa Bay Florida AreaDock Renovations

Need a new dock? Maybe not. We have found that in many cases the dock support pilings are sound and will last for many more years, but the decking and the deck framing materials have deteriorated enough to be unsightly and dangerous. Using proven framing techniques and new composite materials, Tampa Bay area based Kettles Marine Construction can transform your old dock into a beautiful and safe place for your fishing and boating pleasure....at a fraction of the price of a new dock.

Retaining Sea Wall Construction - Kettles Marine Construction in Tampa Bay Florida Area

Seawall Construction

Your seawall is your Florida waterfront property’s first (and often only) line of defense against the sea’s powerful destructive powers. A retaining seawall must be designed and constructed to withstand not only a hurricane’s mighty storm surge, but the everyday punishment of wave action and erosion that the Florida Gulf waters throw at it every single day. There are several materials and methods from which to choose when building a seawall, so work with an experienced Kettle’s Florida seawall contractor during your planning and sea wall design stage to make sure it will last a lifetime.

Seawall Repair

Most of the concrete seawalls in the Tampa Bay area are 50 to 60 years old and at the end of their useful life. At the first sign of trouble, contact a qualified Kettle’s seawall contractor. If caught in time, we can often make repairs to extend the life of your seawall.
