Residential Dock Design

DOCKO provides professional planning and engineering for private waterfront structures, including docks. Its services can cover the design and permitting stages before physical construction begins.

Commercial Marinas & Waterfront Facilities

The firm’s experience extends to commercial marinas and larger waterfront facilities. SEA’s engineering portfolio includes private docks, commercial marinas and other substantial waterfront structures.

Permitting

Permitting is a significant part of DOCKO’s work. Public Connecticut DEEP records document DOCKO preparing waterfront application documents and plans for marine projects.

Marine Engineering

Engineering capabilities allow waterfront projects to be evaluated structurally and designed around site-specific requirements. This makes DOCKO particularly useful for projects requiring professional engineering rather than only physical dock installation.

Best For

DOCKO is an excellent choice for Connecticut waterfront property owners, marinas, developers and commercial operators needing dock or marina planning, engineering, permitting and construction-administration expertise.
