We’ve built over 250 boathouses in the Trinity River drainage system between Dallas and the coast, and over 600 other projects throughout the southern US in or around Trinity River, San Jacinto River, Lake Livingston, Lake Conroe, Houston County Lake, Lake Palestine, Lake Nacogdoches, and Lake Houston.
So if you live anywhere near Galveston, Seabrook, Baytown, Clear Lake, Trinity, Onalaska, Livingston, Huntsville, Conroe, Houston County, Crockett, or Lufkin, be sure to give us a call!
Up on Houston County Lake Northwest of Crockett, Texas is another bulkhead project that occured so quickly that we weren't really expecting it. So as soon as we completed the 200 ft. Petty bulkhead - we simply moved 5 houses down to the end of the subdivision and started doing the old boathouse demolition.
The swim deck upon completion will add a 12' x 12' cantilevered swim deck.
The entire swim deck is specially cantilever designed using 3" x 12" rough-hewn timbers bolted to the original pilings with 3/4" bolts throughout.
A year and a half ago we built a beautiful kayak storage boathouse on the lake outside of Crockett, Texas. This year we got the call to install the bulkhead. It took 10 days to complete the 195 ft. bulkhead into solid iron ore ground, and we have ordered the backfill which will arrive Monday morning.
We started this project out by driving schedule 80 hot-dip galvanized steel pipe pilings - capped by a schedule 120 pipe cap, welded out and on the upper end was welded a 1" thick plate - for the hammer to drive on.
The water is from 6 to 18 feet deep.
The Sullivan Heavy Timber Bulkhead Project - is unusual in that we used 16' long 9" head round piles on 4.5' centers with 4" x 12" stringers. The piling penetration is approximately 7 to 8 feet with the outer layer of sheet-piling penetration running approximately 6 feet on average before the second layer is installed directly behind it.
