On Lake Granbury, 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, dam-controlled levels, recreational boat traffic near Granbury, Hood County.
Shore Protect Team installs wood and steel pilings along Lake Granbury using vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and jetting equipment — selecting the driving method based on limestone and clay conditions. Every piling is driven to refusal or engineered tip elevation, verified with blow count records.
