A waterfront bridge on Baffin Bay provides critical access that no other structure can — spanning water and terrain that cannot be filled or graded. The bay's hypersaline water conditions, hard-packed clay and caliche foundation, and wind-driven waves across shallow open flats, limited tidal exchange determine span design, piling depth, and material selection.
Shore Protect Team builds bridges from treated wood, steel, and aluminum — selecting the material that matches the span, loading, and exposure. Pilings are driven to refusal or engineered depth in the bay's hard-packed clay and caliche. Walkway and boardwalk approaches are integrated to provide seamless access from the bridge to the waterfront.

Bridge repair on Baffin Bay: replacing rotted decking and stringers, reinforcing or replacing corroded steel, resetting shifted pilings in hard-packed clay and caliche, upgrading railings, and restoring load capacity. Shore Protect Team evaluates each structure before recommending repair versus replacement.
Single-span bridges on Baffin Bay can reach 30-40 feet depending on material and loading. Longer crossings use multi-span designs with intermediate pilings driven into hard-packed clay and caliche. There is no practical limit with proper engineering.
Starting at $35/sq ft for new construction and $25/sq ft for repair on Baffin Bay. Final cost depends on span length, width, load rating, material, piling depth in hard-packed clay and caliche, and any railing or lighting requirements.
Baffin Bay is subject to wind-driven waves across shallow open flats, limited tidal exchange. Bridges must be designed with adequate flood clearance above the design water surface elevation. Pilings and abutments must withstand scour forces from flood current in hard-packed clay and caliche substrate.
If pilings and primary structural members are sound, most decking and railing damage can be repaired. If pilings have settled, corroded through, or been undermined by scour in hard-packed clay and caliche, full replacement is usually the better investment.
