Every dock, pier, bridge, bulkhead, and boardwalk on Guadalupe River rests on pilings driven into the river's limestone bedrock and gravel substrate. Piling type, diameter, treatment, and embedment depth determine how long the structure lasts and how well it handles flash flooding, dam releases from Canyon Lake, strong current events.
Shore Protect Team installs wood and steel pilings along Guadalupe River using vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and jetting equipment — selecting the driving method based on limestone bedrock and gravel conditions. Every piling is driven to refusal or engineered tip elevation, verified with blow count records.

labor and materials
Wood piling installation along Guadalupe River for docks, piers, bulkheads and boardwalks. Southern yellow pine treated for the river's spring-fed freshwater environment, driven into limestone bedrock and gravel using vibratory or impact hammer equipment matched to site conditions near New Braunfels, Seguin, Victoria, Cuero.
labor and materials
Steel piling installation on Guadalupe River for applications that exceed wood capacity — commercial docks, multi-slip marinas, bridge piers, and heavy bulkhead walls. Pile selection based on limestone bedrock and gravel soil report and structural loading requirements.
Properly treated wood pilings in Guadalupe River's spring-fed freshwater environment typically last 20-30 years. CCA treatment provides the longest life in submerged applications. Creosote is another long-life option. Lifespan depends on treatment type, water conditions, and exposure to flash flooding, dam releases from Canyon Lake, strong current events.
Wood pilings on Guadalupe River start at $150 each for labor and materials. Steel pilings start at $200. Final cost depends on piling diameter, length, treatment, limestone bedrock and gravel driving conditions, water depth, and equipment access.
Shore Protect Team uses vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and water-jetting equipment depending on the limestone bedrock and gravel 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 limestone bedrock and gravel, replacement is necessary.
