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.
