Pilings
The foundation of every great dock. March Marine Construction installs and replaces pilings for residential and commercial marine structures throughout Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties.
The Foundation of Your Waterfront Structure
Pilings are the vertical posts driven into the lake or bay bottom that support your dock, pier, or boathouse. The quality of your pilings determines the strength, longevity, and safety of your entire waterfront structure. March Marine Construction uses properly sized, treated, and driven pilings on every project.
Whether you're building a new dock, replacing aging pilings on an existing structure, or reinforcing a seawall, our team has the equipment and experience to get the job done right in Florida's varied soil and water conditions.
Piling Types We Install
Pressure-Treated Wood Pilings
The most widely used piling material for residential docks in Florida. CCA-treated southern yellow pine pilings are driven to refusal and sized to meet load requirements for your specific structure. Cost-effective and proven in Florida's coastal environment.
Concrete Pilings
Precast concrete pilings offer superior strength and longevity for commercial applications, heavy-load structures, and locations with aggressive marine borers. Concrete pilings are a long-term investment in structural integrity.
Composite / Fiberglass Pilings
Composite pilings are immune to rot, marine borers, and corrosion — making them an excellent choice for saltwater environments where wood degradation is a concern. Longer service life with minimal maintenance.
Piling Services
New Piling Installation
We install pilings for new dock, pier, and boathouse construction using hydraulic driving equipment sized for Florida's soil conditions.
Piling Replacement
Aging, damaged, or leaning pilings compromise the safety of your entire structure. We assess, remove, and replace individual pilings or full sets as needed.
Piling Wrapping
Piling wraps protect existing wood pilings from UV damage, marine borers, and impact. A cost-effective way to extend the life of sound pilings without full replacement.
Structural Assessment
Not sure if your pilings need replacement? We perform on-site assessments to evaluate piling condition, load capacity, and remaining service life.
Our Process
Site Assessment
We evaluate water depth, soil conditions, and structural load requirements to specify the right piling type, size, and spacing for your project.
Permitting
We handle all required permits with the Army Corps of Engineers, SWFWMD, and local municipalities.
