On Lake Nacogdoches, 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 moderate wind fetch, residential boat traffic near Nacogdoches.
Shore Protect Team installs wood and steel pilings along Lake Nacogdoches using vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and jetting equipment — selecting the driving method based on sandy clay conditions. Every piling is driven to refusal or engineered tip elevation, verified with blow count records.
