What does this Treasure Coast project show?
Specialized equipment breaks up old concrete on the beach as Dockside Builders prepares a shoreline for the next stage of seawall repair.
What was included, and how does Dockside build it?
- The photo shows an excavator-mounted hydraulic breaker being used on an existing beach-side concrete section
- Controlled demolition removes failed concrete and prepares the work area for the replacement seawall or cap
- On cap replacements, Dockside’s methods include relieving pressure, chipping out the old cap and installing a reinforced concrete replacement
- Project-specific scopes can add galvanized tiebacks, concrete deadmen, filter cloth, rip rap or coquina shoreline protection
Where is this project?
Treasure Coast, Florida. Dockside Builders is based in Sebastian and builds across the Treasure Coast and Space Coast.
Why remove old seawall concrete before rebuilding?
Deteriorated concrete must be removed so the crew can prepare the remaining structure and install the new engineered cap or wall components without simply covering up the failed section.
