On Aransas Bay, the right piling is a function of the structure, the soil, and the water. Treated wood handles most residential applications. Steel is specified for heavy commercial loads, deep water, or structures exposed to extreme southeast wind fetch, boat wakes from Intracoastal Waterway, tropical surge near Rockport, Fulton, Lamar Peninsula, Live Oak Point.
Shore Protect Team installs wood and steel pilings along Aransas Bay using vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and jetting equipment — selecting the driving method based on soft mud and sandy clay conditions. Every piling is driven to refusal or engineered tip elevation, verified with blow count records.
