On East 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 wind fetch from southeast, hurricane surge, boat traffic from GIWW near High Island, Bolivar Peninsula, Anahuac.
Shore Protect Team installs wood and steel pilings along East Bay using vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and jetting equipment — selecting the driving method based on sandy mud with shell conditions. Every piling is driven to refusal or engineered tip elevation, verified with blow count records.

labor and materials
Treated wood pilings along East Bay driven to refusal or engineered tip elevation in sandy mud with shell. Shore Protect Team sizes and spaces pilings based on the structure they will support — pier, dock, bridge, bulkhead, or boardwalk — and the wave and current forces from wind fetch from southeast, hurricane surge, boat traffic from GIWW.
labor and materials
Metal piling installation on East Bay: galvanized steel, hot-dip coated, or epoxy-protected pipe and H-piles for structures requiring heavy load capacity. Driven into the bay's sandy mud with shell to engineered depth near High Island, Bolivar Peninsula, Anahuac.
Wood pilings handle most residential applications on East Bay — docks, piers, boardwalks and light bulkheads. Steel is specified for heavy commercial structures, deep-water applications, and situations where the sandy mud with shell substrate requires greater bearing capacity or the wind fetch from southeast, hurricane surge, boat traffic from GIWW generates extreme lateral loads.
Wood pilings on East Bay start at $150 each for labor and materials. Steel pilings start at $200. Final cost depends on piling diameter, length, treatment, sandy mud with shell driving conditions, water depth, and equipment access.
Shore Protect Team uses vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and water-jetting equipment depending on the sandy mud with shell substrate. Barge-mounted equipment is used for deep-water installation; shore-based equipment handles shallow-water and upland piling work.
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 mud with shell, replacement is necessary.
