Marine piling installation on Lake Buchanan is the critical first phase of any waterfront project. Undersized, under-driven, or under-treated pilings lead to premature structural failure. Shore Protect Team engineers every piling plan for the specific granite and limestone conditions and loading at the site.
Shore Protect Team installs wood and steel pilings along Lake Buchanan using vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and jetting equipment — selecting the driving method based on granite and limestone conditions. Every piling is driven to refusal or engineered tip elevation, verified with blow count records.

labor and materials
Wood piling installation on Lake Buchanan using CCA or creosote treated southern yellow pine driven into the lake's granite and limestone substrate. Piling diameter and length are engineered for each site based on soil bearing capacity, water depth, and structural loading from strong wind fetch on large open water, significant level fluctuations.
labor and materials
Steel piling installation on Lake Buchanan for heavy-load applications — commercial docks, marine structures, and bridge foundations. H-piles and pipe piles driven or jetted into granite and limestone to calculated depth. Corrosion protection systems matched to the lake's freshwater environment.
Wood pilings handle most residential applications on Lake Buchanan — docks, piers, boardwalks and light bulkheads. Steel is specified for heavy commercial structures, deep-water applications, and situations where the granite and limestone substrate requires greater bearing capacity or the strong wind fetch on large open water, significant level fluctuations generates extreme lateral loads.
Wood pilings on Lake Buchanan start at $150 each for labor and materials. Steel pilings start at $200. Final cost depends on piling diameter, length, treatment, granite and limestone driving conditions, water depth, and equipment access.
Shore Protect Team uses vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and water-jetting equipment depending on the granite and limestone 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 granite and limestone, replacement is necessary.
Yes. Shore Protect Team handles all required coordination for piling installation on Lake Buchanan, from site assessment through driving and verification. We serve properties near Burnet, Llano, Buchanan Dam.
