Real-time multibeam sonar systems provide full seabed coverage, unlike traditional single beam surveys that rely on spaced lines. This allows contractors to identify issues immediately rather than after post-processing. Photo Credit: Measutronics
How Real-Time Survey Data is Transforming Decision-Making on Marine Job Sites

Marine construction projects have always depended on accurate survey data, but the way that data…

Lift Planning and Safety Best Practices for Waterfront and Barge Crane Operations

Over-water crane lifts are among the most demanding and high-risk operations in marine construction. Whether…

Repair vs. Replacement Decisions for Aging Shoreline Structures

Aging seawalls and bulkheads line thousands of miles of U.S. coastline, ports, and waterfront properties.…

Tire selection directly affects uptime in port operations, as poorly matched tires can lead to faster wear, blowouts, and unexpected equipment stoppage. Choosing tires designed for continuous heavy loads helps reduce maintenance frequency and operational delays. Photo Credit: Trelleborg Tires
Tire and Wheel Selection for Port Equipment: Reducing Downtime in High-Load Environments

Ports operate under constant pressure to move heavy loads efficiently while minimizing delays. Equipment such…

Rapid-Install Mechanical Anchors for Seawall and Bulkhead Reinforcement

Aging seawalls and bulkheads are a growing concern along developed coastlines, ports, and inland waterways.…

HDPE pipe is commonly specified for marine outfall and intake pipelines because it does not corrode in saltwater or wastewater environments. This makes it well suited for long-term submerged applications where access for repairs is limited. Photo Credit: HDPE Pipe & Fittings
HDPE Pipe Applications in Marine Outfalls and Intake Structures

Marine construction projects increasingly rely on buried and submerged pipeline systems to move water, effluent,…

Repurposed steel tubulars can meet the same structural design requirements as new piles when properly inspected and engineered. In many marine projects, geotechnical conditions govern pile capacity rather than steel strength. Photo Credit: RAM Tubulars Inc
Repurposed Steel Tubulars in Marine Piling: Performance and Environmental Advantages

Marine construction projects continue to face increasing pressure to balance structural performance with environmental responsibility.…

Pressure-treated lumber used in bulkheads and seawalls is treated to higher preservative retention levels than standard construction lumber to withstand constant moisture and ground contact. Using lower-grade treated wood in marine environments significantly reduces service life. Photo Credit: Port Lumber Corp
