A pier on Lavaca River is the primary connection between waterfront property and the water. The river's freshwater conditions, alluvial clay and sandy loam substrate, and seasonal flooding, moderate current, agricultural runoff all determine how the pier must be engineered — from piling depth and spacing to decking material and load rating.
Shore Protect Team builds piers on Lavaca River from treated wood, composite, and aluminum — selecting the material that matches the owner's budget, maintenance preference, and exposure conditions. Pilings are driven to refusal or engineered depth in alluvial clay and sandy loam, ensuring long-term stability through the full range of water levels.
