WHAT IS A SEAWALL?

A seawall’s job is to hold back soil and to act as a barrier from water pulling the soil into the water, causing erosion and property loss. A seawall is comprised of several items which are all critical in the long term performance of the structure.

In the past, seawalls and bulkheads made of chemically treated wood, concrete, or steel deteriorated quickly in the marine environment. Now, property owners around the globe are enjoying picturesque, long lasting seawalls made of advanced plastics, composites, and marine grade aluminum.
