Seawall Construction in Mobile & Baldwin County, Alabama
New seawall construction for waterfront properties. We build vinyl sheet pile, concrete, and rip-rap seawalls engineered for Gulf Coast conditions including hurricane-force storm surge.
New Seawall Construction for Gulf Coast Properties
Building a new seawall is the single most effective way to protect a waterfront property from erosion, storm surge, and land loss. We engineer and install vinyl sheet pile, concrete, and rip-rap seawalls designed specifically for Alabama's coastal conditions — hurricane-force winds, brackish water corrosion, and the sandy clay soils common along Mobile Bay and the Gulf.
Vinyl sheet pile is the most popular choice for residential properties: it resists saltwater corrosion, requires minimal maintenance, and has a 50-plus year lifespan. Concrete walls offer maximum strength for high-exposure properties. Rip-rap provides a natural shoreline stabilization option where hardened walls aren't required or permitted.
Engineering and Permitting
Every new seawall requires permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and often the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. The permitting process involves site surveys, environmental impact assessment, and engineering drawings — we handle all of it.
Our construction plans account for local conditions: soil composition, water depth, tidal range, wave exposure, and the 100-year flood elevation. Proper engineering at the design stage prevents costly failures down the road.
What to Expect: Timeline and Cost
A typical residential seawall runs $150 to $600 per linear foot depending on materials, wall height, and site conditions. A 100-foot seawall typically costs $15,000 to $60,000. Permitting adds 4 to 8 weeks before construction can begin.
Construction itself takes 2 to 6 weeks for most residential projects. We provide a detailed timeline and cost breakdown during your free consultation so there are no surprises.
