SHORETECH – A Premier Shoreline and Marine Construction Company serving Texas, Louisiana, and the Southern U.S.
about our company
Shoretech Marine Construction specializes in Land and Shoreline Construction Projects
The Shoretech Marine Construction Company was incorporated in 2013, but our local design/build ownership history goes back to 1999 when Waterside Construction was formed in Trinity County, Texas. The company started out as “Heck of a Deck” back in 1996 as a deck building company. The projects moved out to the water in 1999 when it was hired to build a large shoreline pier. Waterside Construction grew to over 35 employees on 15 acres, and was sold in 2011.
The owner of Shoretech Marine Construction and Design, Dave Thomson, has been working in land and marine construction design & engineering since the late 1970s. Dave started out in the piping and structural divisions for Brown & Root along the Houston Ship Channel, and then eventually became a well-traveled piping and pile-support designer. That experience eventually brought him to Alaska in 1987.
Dave then worked in Alaska for Fluor Daniels and H.C. Price along the Aleutian Islands and the North Slope until 1993. Then, he was hired by Martech Engineering. After two years, Martech decided to create a marine division. They asked Dave to lead the division as Superintendent, and then as Marine Division Manager.
As a result, Shoretech has a long and rich history of land and marine construction experience at the helm of this marine construction company, with the last 20 years of it back on the beautiful shorelines of Texas. During that time, the Shoretech team has been instrumental in the design of over 250 boathouses and over 850 shoreline and marine construction projects throughout the lake systems and waterways of Texas and Louisiana.
