Piling installation on Lake Lewisville 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 clay and limestone determines how deep the pilings go.
Shore Protect Team installs wood and steel pilings along Lake Lewisville using vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and jetting equipment — selecting the driving method based on clay 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 Lewisville using CCA or creosote treated southern yellow pine driven into the lake's clay and limestone substrate. Piling diameter and length are engineered for each site based on soil bearing capacity, water depth, and structural loading from wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, heavy DFW recreational traffic.
labor and materials
Steel piling installation on Lake Lewisville for heavy-load applications — commercial docks, marine structures, and bridge foundations. H-piles and pipe piles driven or jetted into clay and limestone to calculated depth. Corrosion protection systems matched to the lake's freshwater environment.
Properly treated wood pilings in Lake Lewisville's 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 wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, heavy DFW recreational traffic.
Wood pilings on Lake Lewisville start at $150 each for labor and materials. Steel pilings start at $200. Final cost depends on piling diameter, length, treatment, clay and limestone driving conditions, water depth, and equipment access.
Shore Protect Team uses vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and water-jetting equipment depending on the clay 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 clay and limestone, replacement is necessary.
