Enhancing Coastal Resilience through Advanced Seawall Erosion Control Solutions

Project Overview

An installation of 150 “JET Filters” maintainable weep hole filter. A Vermeer CX 160 supplied hydraulic energy to our submersible drills to install filters and braces. We installed 30 “Seawall Brace Panels” in the substrate. By placing them 12 inches beneath the mud line, and 7 to 8 feet between to meet the installation requirements.

In addition, the team also erected 13 concrete-filled seawall braces for highly decaying locations. In certain spalling seawall cap areas, we injected a two-part epoxy compound to fill fissures and cracks. The project took approximately two weeks with our experienced team

The Seawall Challenge

Established in Fort Myers, the Caloosa Yacht and Racquet Club is a central hub for homeowners and maritime enthusiasts. Recently, the club faced a pressing issue: noticeable voids and sinkholes behind the seawall adjacent to several clients’ backyards.

This concern quickly spread among residents, as it threatened both the structural integrity and functional efficiency of the seawall. Additionally, a recent rainfall and scour activity eroded the soil behind the seawall, creating numerous voids.
