Piling installation on Lake LBJ starts with understanding what the pilings must do: support a dock, anchor a bulkhead, carry a bridge, or elevate a boardwalk. Each application has different load requirements, and the lake's granite and limestone determines how deep the pilings go.
Shore Protect Team installs wood and steel pilings along Lake LBJ 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 LBJ 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 moderate wind fetch, constant level reservoir, boat traffic.
labor and materials
Steel piling installation on Lake LBJ 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 with consistent levels environment.
Piling depth on Lake LBJ depends on granite and limestone bearing capacity and structural loading. Residential pilings typically go 8-15 feet below the lakebed; commercial pilings can exceed 25 feet. Every piling is driven to refusal or engineered tip elevation.
Wood pilings on Lake LBJ 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 LBJ, from site assessment through driving and verification. We serve properties near Horseshoe Bay, Marble Falls, Granite Shoals, Kingsland.
