As we all know water is an essential element.  It can also be an incredibly destructive force.  Water has formed some of the most amazing natural sights such as The Grand Canyon, Lake Mead and the shorelines of our own Great Lakes.  The harnessing of flowing water has been a source of power for centuries throughout the world.  Coupled with gravity water is a force to be reckoned with; one that cannot be completely controlled but only managed.  Drainage solutions becomes very important to the homeowner.

Seawall construction is quickly picking up pace as residential and commercial owners are seeking solutions to prevent erosion of their property. As environmental awareness grows waterfront property owners are becoming more educated on the effects of erosion, as it has a direct implication on the value of the property.

Seawalls are intended to provide shoreline defense to reduce the effects of strong waves, while preserving property retention. Shoreline erosion is a prevalent problem amongst waterfront properties seen throughout southeast Michigan due to the vast number of lakes and rivers. Erosion can occur for a multitude of reasons such as the general movement of water, high wake, ice pressure, environment factors and material properties.
