Dock Construction

American Dock & Marine constructs docks ranging from smaller recreational and crabbing docks to larger permitted waterfront structures.

Dock Restoration & Maintenance

Existing waterfront structures can be restored and maintained to address aging materials, weather exposure and other conditions affecting the dock.

Boat & PWC Lifts

The company has represented Hi-Tide Boat Lifts in the Charleston area since 1992. Lift options include systems for personal watercraft, recreational boats and substantially larger vessels.

Bulkheads & Seawalls

Bulkheads and seawalls provide solid shoreline barriers for properties where erosion and loss of high ground are concerns.

Riprap

Granite riprap provides a more natural-looking shoreline-protection option for properties where stone stabilization is appropriate.

Pile Driving

Marine pile-driving capabilities include timber, sheet, pipe and concrete piles for docks and other waterfront structures.

Ramps & Gangways

Custom ramps and gangways can accommodate tidal movement and provide access between fixed waterfront structures and floating docks.

Permitting & Design

American Dock & Marine assists with waterfront design and regulatory approvals, including permitting for dock construction and modifications in South Carolina coastal areas.

Best For

American Dock & Marine Construction is suited to Charleston and Lowcountry property owners seeking an established marine contractor for permitted dock construction, boat lifts, pile driving, shoreline protection or complete waterfront projects.
