Marine Construction Company in Carolina Beach
Marine Projects Designed and Built to Last
The weather in Carolina Beach can take a tool on your dock, pier or boat lift. However, you shouldn't have to rebuild every time there is a severe storm.
Our primary company goal is to design and build structurally sound marine projects that are pleasing to the eye and able to withstand the severe weather that is so common in southeastern North Carolina.
- David Logan has the direct oversight responsibility for all of our projects. This ensures that all aspects of your project are completed following our written installation processes and any other requirements for your project.
- We only use in house employees to install the structural aspects of your project. We believe this is the best way to achieve consistent quality on each project.
- Our detailed planning process, pre-construction conference checklist, written installation process and daily supervision by David Logan are all essential parts of keeping your project on time.
- We will update you on a daily basis so you can feel comfortable that progress is being made. This is especially important since some phases of a project like demolition go much faster to phases like railing installation.
- We use a Marine Pile Driving Barge, manufactured out of steel, engineered specifically for driving deep foundation piles. Piles are driven with 10,000 ft/lbs. of impact in every blow. We can provide the engineered pile bearing capacities using Blow Count Data
- We utilize driven pilings because they offer the highest hold down capacities available. When flood waters rise your wooden pier will float if it isn’t properly secured.
- Driven piles also offer the highest support capacities as well. This is important because your pilings will sink when any substantial amount of weight is applied to them, such as boat lifts and gazebos.
- We protect each piling with a PVC Jacket that protects against worms. Without this protection, your pilings WILL rot and need to be replaced.
- We build and repair floating docks to last. Consequently, we use heavy timbers treated to AWPA standards and 316 grade stainless steel screws and NO NAILS. At Logan Marine, we construct our docks to your site requirements and your recreational needs. In addition, we take into account all kinds of situations from rivers to lakes to tidal changes.
- Every piece of lumber is pressure treated to meet AWPA specifications for Salt Water Splash Zones.
- We use: bolts and stainless steel screws, 4x4 Torsion Beams, 4x4 stringers, 4x6 floatation supports, bolted to laminated double 2x10 bands to ensure the structural integrity of every project.
- Decking material is custom Salt Water Splash Treated with 1/2" radius edges and curfed bottoms in order to resist cupping, warping, checking & splintering caused by the elements.
- All decking and 2x material is also treated with Paraffin Wax, a preservative that resists water intrusion. This helps tremendously in extending the life of your dock. You will not find a nail in these docks, only bolts and stainless steel screws.
