    FAQs About Driven Pilings in Wilmington, NC

    What are driven pilings used for in marine construction?

    Driven pilings are used to support docks, piers, boat lifts, and other waterfront structures. They’re hammered deep into the ground to provide long-term stability and resistance to erosion and movement.

    Do I need a permit for pile driving in Wilmington, NC?

    Yes. Most piling projects in coastal or navigable waters require permits from the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management and possibly the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Logan Marine helps guide clients through the permitting process.

    What kind of pilings do you install? Wood, concrete, or composite?

    We install treated timber, concrete, and composite pilings, depending on your project's structural needs, water depth, and exposure. Our team can help you choose the best option.

    How deep do pilings need to go in Wilmington?

    It depends on the conditions of the seabed composition and what the structure will be used for. In marine construction, pilings can range from 4–15 feet below the mudline to ensure they bear the load properly. We assess soil conditions before every install.

    How long does it take to install pilings?

    A standard residential pile driving project can take 1 to 3 days, depending on access and scope. Larger or commercial projects take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline during your consultation.
