Removing a waterfront structure from Lady Bird Lake is more complex than upland demolition. Water access, in-water debris containment, piling extraction from limestone bedrock and alluvial silt, and shoreline stabilization after removal all require specialized equipment and experience.
Shore Protect Team provides complete waterfront demolition along Lady Bird Lake: structural assessment, demolition planning, disconnection of utilities, systematic dismantling, piling extraction from limestone bedrock and alluvial silt, debris removal, and site restoration. All work is performed with proper debris containment in the lake's freshwater environment.
