On Lake Somerville, 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, Yegua Creek flooding near Somerville, Lyons, Caldwell.
Shore Protect Team installs wood and steel pilings along Lake Somerville using vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and jetting equipment — selecting the driving method based on clay and sandy loam conditions. Every piling is driven to refusal or engineered tip elevation, verified with blow count records.

Shore Protect Team uses vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and water-jetting equipment depending on the clay and sandy loam 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 sandy loam, replacement is necessary.
