Waterfront access on Lake Worth starts with a properly engineered pier. The lake's oldest Fort Worth reservoir, urban recreation lake, West Fork Trinity River and wind fetch, urban runoff from Fort Worth, recreational boat traffic define the structural requirements — from piling embedment in clay and limestone to decking elevation and span design.
On Lake Worth, pier construction starts with a piling plan based on soil borings or probe tests in the clay and limestone. 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, urban runoff from Fort Worth, recreational boat traffic.

Starting at $20 per square foot for labor and materials on Lake Worth. Final cost depends on pier length, width, decking material, piling depth in clay and limestone, and any covered or specialized features.
If pilings are sound and plumb, most superstructure damage can be repaired — rotted decking, damaged stringers, corroded hardware. If pilings are leaning, broken, or settled unevenly in the clay and limestone, full replacement is usually more cost-effective.
