Every pier on Mesquite Bay faces the same bay-specific challenges: moderate wind fetch, tidal exchange with Aransas Bay, brackish saltwater that ages materials, and soft mud and shell fragments substrate that determines how deep pilings must go. Shore Protect Team engineers each pier for these conditions.
Whether building new or repairing existing, every pier project on Mesquite Bay near Aransas National Wildlife Refuge includes a site assessment covering water depth, soft mud and shell fragments conditions, wave exposure, and structural loading requirements. This data drives the design.

labor and materials
Pier building on Mesquite Bay designed for the combination of brackish saltwater, soft mud and shell fragments lakebed and moderate wind fetch, tidal exchange with Aransas Bay that defines this bay. Pilings are sized and driven to the depth needed for long-term stability — not generic catalog specs.
labor and materials
Pier rehabilitation on Mesquite Bay: selective demolition, piling evaluation, decking and stringer replacement, and hardware upgrades. Shore Protect Team restores aging piers along Mesquite Bay near Aransas National Wildlife Refuge to current structural standards.
Treated wood is the most economical on Mesquite Bay. Composite decking eliminates rot and splinters in the brackish saltwater environment. Aluminum frames offer the longest lifespan with minimal maintenance. Material choice depends on budget, use, and exposure to moderate wind fetch, tidal exchange with Aransas Bay.
Starting at $20 per square foot for labor and materials on Mesquite Bay. Final cost depends on pier length, width, decking material, piling depth in soft mud and shell fragments, 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 soft mud and shell fragments, full replacement is usually more cost-effective.
Mesquite Bay experiences moderate wind fetch, tidal exchange with Aransas Bay. Piers must be designed with adequate freeboard at high water and sufficient depth access at low water. Floating sections or adjustable gangways may be needed on reservoirs with large drawdown ranges.
