Marine Structural Services

Engineered For The Waterfront

Barge Structural Design

Deck, spud, and hopper barge structures — hull framing, scantlings, and deck loads.

Hull Framing & Scantlings

Plating, stiffeners, and framing sized to ABS rules and mission loads.

Spud Wells & Spuds

Spud, well, and guide design for positioning and jacking loads.

Piers, Docks & Wharves

Framing, decking, and pile caps for fixed and floating marine structures.

Mooring & Berthing Structures

Mooring and breasting dolphins, bollards, and cleats for berthing loads.

Fender & Bumper Systems

Fender panels, piles, and energy-absorption systems for vessel impact.

Bulkheads & Retaining Structures

Sheet-pile and king-pile bulkheads and shoreline retention.

Pile Caps, Bracing & Connections

Pile-to-cap connections, bracing, and load paths for marine framing.

Fabrication & Erection Drawings

Shop and field drawings with weld details built for the marine environment.

Areas Of Expertise

Structures We Engineer

Vessels and waterfront structures designed for wave, current, tidal, and impact loads — and built to last in saltwater service.

Industries Served

Built For Marine Programs

Marine Construction

Contractors building and repairing piers, docks, and waterfront structures.

Inland & Coastal Shipping

Barge operators needing structural design, repair, and modifications.

Ports & Terminals

Berthing, mooring, and cargo-handling structures for working waterfronts.

Dredging & Aggregates

Hopper and spud barge structures for dredging and material handling.

Offshore Support

Deck barges, skids, and support structures for offshore programs.

Government & Municipal

Public docks, boat ramps, and shoreline infrastructure to code.

Why Weldment

Built To Survive Saltwater

Marine structures live in a punishing environment. We design to ABS, ASCE, and USACE guidance with corrosion allowances and detailing that shed water and last.

FAQ

Barge & Marine Questions

Do you design barges to ABS rules?

Yes. We design barge hulls, framing, and scantlings to ABS Rules for Building and Classing along with your mission and deck-load requirements, with stamped calculations.

Can you engineer repairs and modifications to an existing barge?

Yes — structural assessments, steel renewals, deck reinforcements, and modifications, with load paths verified for the new service.

What loads do you design marine structures for?

Berthing and mooring forces, wave and current, tidal range, vessel impact, crane and equipment loads, and corrosion — to ASCE, AISC, USACE, and API guidance as applicable.

Do you handle piles, pile caps, and fender systems?

Yes — pile design coordination, pile-to-cap connections, bracing, and fender/energy-absorption systems for berthing loads.

Do you account for corrosion in the coastal environment?

Always — sacrificial thickness, coatings guidance, detailing to shed water, and material selection appropriate for splash-zone and submerged service.
