A pier on Tres Palacios Bay is the primary connection between waterfront property and the water. The bay's brackish water from Tres Palacios Creek conditions, soft clay and silt substrate, and moderate wind fetch within Matagorda Bay system, storm surge 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 Tres Palacios Bay from treated wood, composite, and aluminum — selecting the material that matches the owner's budget, maintenance preference, and exposure conditions.
