Marine Retaining Walls

Essential Support for Coastal and Waterfront Projects

Marine Retaining Walls

Overview

In marine infrastructure, retaining walls play a crucial role in stabilizing shorelines and protecting against erosion, wave action, and water pressure.

These structures provide essential support for docks, harbors, piers, and other waterfront developments, ensuring long-term durability and safety. Our retaining walls are engineered to withstand harsh marine environments, offering robust solutions for coastal protection and land reclamation.

Types of Marine Retaining Walls

Gravity Retaining Walls​

Ideal for many marine applications, gravity retaining walls rely on their mass to resist lateral pressure from soil and water. Built using heavy materials such as reinforced concrete or natural stone, these walls are perfect for ports, sea walls, and coastal defense projects where stability is a top priority.

Sheet Pile Retaining Walls

Designed for use in areas with soft soil or deep water conditions, sheet pile walls provide a thin, yet strong barrier. Commonly made from steel, vinyl, or timber, sheet piles are driven deep into the ground to hold back soil and water, making them ideal for bulkheads, wharves, and marinas.

Reinforced Concrete Retaining Walls

For marine structures requiring maximum strength and resilience, our reinforced concrete walls offer unmatched durability. These walls are highly effective in high-load areas such as cargo terminals, ferry ports, and shipyards where they must withstand constant pressure from water and heavy equipment.

Crib Walls

Comprising interlocking cells filled with rock or other aggregate materials, crib walls provide a flexible solution that can adapt to shifts in the surrounding landscape. This type of retaining wall is well-suited to coastal areas prone to erosion or fluctuating water levels.

Key Benefits of Marine Retaining Walls

Erosion Control

Our retaining walls are specifically designed to prevent shoreline erosion caused by tides, waves, and storm surges. They help protect waterfront properties and infrastructure from the destructive forces of the sea.

Land Reclamation

Retaining walls are essential for land reclamation projects, creating new usable space in coastal areas for development or environmental restoration. Our retaining wall solutions are designed to safely and securely hold back the sea, making land reclamation efforts efficient and reliable.

Wave Impact Resistance

Engineered to withstand the constant impact of waves, our retaining walls offer long-term protection for harbors, piers, and coastal developments, ensuring their stability even in rough sea conditions.

Durability in Harsh Conditions

Marine environments are tough, with saltwater, fluctuating tides, and extreme weather conditions. Our retaining walls are built using corrosion-resistant materials and advanced construction techniques to ensure longevity and minimal maintenance.

Applications

Ports and Harbors

Provide essential support for docking areas, cargo terminals, and loading zones, maintaining stability for marine infrastructure under high loads and constant water pressure.

Seawalls and Bulkheads

Protect coastlines and waterfront developments from erosion, wave action, and rising sea levels, preserving valuable land and infrastructure.

Marinas and Wharves

Offer stable docking and berthing for vessels, ensuring safe and reliable access to waterfronts for both commercial and recreational use.

Land Reclamation

Create new land for development by holding back seawater, allowing for the expansion of ports, industrial areas, or residential developments.
