What does this Treasure Coast project show?
Dockside Builders removed and replaced the concrete cap on a beach-side seawall, with forming and finishing work completed between the upland property and the beach.
What was included, and how does Dockside build it?
- Remove the existing beach-side concrete cap and prepare the wall for its new cap
- Set and brace formwork, then place and finish the new concrete cap along the shoreline
- Dockside’s typical cap-replacement detailing includes continuous #5 rebar and stirrups, galvanized tiebacks to concrete deadmen and 5000 psi fiber-reinforced concrete
- Where specified on seawall jobs, filter cloth, backfill, rip rap on a 2:1 slope or coquina revetment help protect the repaired shoreline
Where is this project?
Treasure Coast, Florida. Dockside Builders is based in Sebastian and builds across the Treasure Coast and Space Coast.
What does a seawall cap replacement involve?
Dockside’s verified cap-replacement jobs begin by relieving pressure and removing the old cap, then forming a reinforced replacement with the specified tiebacks, concrete and shoreline protection.
