Dock & Pier Construction

Aquamarine has decades of experience constructing docks and piers around Martha’s Vineyard. Its marine construction operations use specialized waterfront equipment, including barges and cranes, for pile-supported structures.

Pilings

Pile installation forms part of the company’s pier-building capabilities. Aquamarine’s documented construction work includes barge-supported placement of substantial timber pilings for waterfront structures.

Dock Repair & Maintenance

The company also works on existing waterfront structures. Recent Edgartown records document Aquamarine representing a project involving replacement of deteriorated posts, framing components and deck boards on an existing elevated walkway.

Martha’s Vineyard Waterfront Experience

Aquamarine’s strongest distinction is its deep local experience. The company has worked around Martha’s Vineyard waterfronts since the late 1970s and has longstanding involvement with docks and moorings around the island.
