Pilings are the foundation of waterfront construction on Cedar Bayou. The bayou's sandy loam over clay substrate determines how deep they must go. The brackish tidal water environment determines how they must be treated. The structural loading from tidal fluctuations, moderate boat traffic, storm surge from Trinity Bay determines how they must be spaced and sized.
Shore Protect Team installs wood and steel pilings along Cedar Bayou using vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and jetting equipment — selecting the driving method based on sandy loam over clay conditions. Every piling is driven to refusal or engineered tip elevation, verified with blow count records.

In some cases, yes. Sister pilings, concrete jackets, and steel sleeve wraps can extend the life of pilings that still have structural capacity. If the piling is broken, severely rotted below the waterline, or has lost bearing in sandy loam over clay, replacement is necessary.
