On San Jacinto River, 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 flooding from Lake Houston releases, tidal influence downstream, boat wakes near Channelview, Highlands, Crosby.
Shore Protect Team installs wood and steel pilings along San Jacinto River using vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and jetting equipment — selecting the driving method based on alluvial sand and clay conditions. Every piling is driven to refusal or engineered tip elevation, verified with blow count records.

labor and materials
Steel piling installation on San Jacinto River for applications that exceed wood capacity — commercial docks, multi-slip marinas, bridge piers, and heavy bulkhead walls. Pile selection based on alluvial sand and clay soil report and structural loading requirements.
Wood pilings handle most residential applications on San Jacinto River — docks, piers, boardwalks and light bulkheads. Steel is specified for heavy commercial structures, deep-water applications, and situations where the alluvial sand and clay substrate requires greater bearing capacity or the flooding from Lake Houston releases, tidal influence downstream, boat wakes generates extreme lateral loads.
Wood pilings on San Jacinto River start at $150 each for labor and materials. Steel pilings start at $200. Final cost depends on piling diameter, length, treatment, alluvial sand and clay driving conditions, water depth, and equipment access.
Shore Protect Team uses vibratory hammers, impact hammers, and water-jetting equipment depending on the alluvial sand and clay 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 alluvial sand and clay, replacement is necessary.
