Waterfront access on Lake Ray Hubbard starts with a properly engineered pier. The lake's DFW metroplex reservoir, East Fork Trinity River, major waterfront development and wind fetch, water supply operations, DFW metro boat traffic define the structural requirements — from piling embedment in clay and blackland prairie soil to decking elevation and span design.
On Lake Ray Hubbard, pier construction starts with a piling plan based on soil borings or probe tests in the clay and blackland prairie soil. Piling spacing, size and embedment depth are engineered — not guessed. The superstructure is then designed for dead load, live load, wind uplift and lateral forces from wind fetch, water supply operations, DFW metro boat traffic.
