D.E.P. PERMITTING FOR:

MARINE CONSULTANTS, ENGINEERS & LAND SURVEYORS

Cantilever Elevator

Capacities are available from 3,000 lbs. to 12,000 lbs. with a two motor design. The cantilever elevators are constructed of hot dipped galvanized steel. Installation can be done on a dock or bulkhead and is also available in inclines of 15, 30, or 45 degree angles.

4 Post Cradle Lift

Capacities available from 7,000 lbs. to 70,000 lbs. The 4-post cradle lift has a two motor design with wireless remote control unit and can be wired for 110 or 220 volts. Docking is as simple as driving your boat between the (4) guide poles. Press the wireless remote control transmitter and your boat is high, dry, safe and secure.

Typical Corps Permit Review Process

Engineered vinyl sheet piling designed for smaller scale, shallow water applications including residential, golf course, and park use.

Thickest, strongest panels, designed for deep water service where extra heavy-duty protection is needed.

Marine Borers-Another Destructive Organism

Marine borers are found in most saltwater and brackish environments. In fact, as toxic pollutants in coastal areas and estuaries diminish, the marine borer problem is becoming more severe.

There are two major types, or subfamilies, of marine borers: Mollusca and Crustacea.

The Mollusca have seven genera with the most common being the Teredo, or shipworm. Other common genera include bankia and pholads. Mollusca bore into the interior of exposed wood structures and construct elaborate networks of non-connecting tunnels. In the process, the structural integrity of the timber is destroyed.

The Crustacea subfamily has three genera: Limnoria, Chelura, and Sphaeroma. All three groups will attack the exterior of submerged marine structures. In heavy concentrations, these organisms will completely girdle piers and piles at the waterline, producing a typical “hourglass” configuration and eventually, structural failure. As with fungi, the best way to prevent attacks by both types of marine borers is to remove the food supply through pressure treating with Wolmann CCA preservative.
