Seawall problems can range from a few miniscule cracks, to massive structural damage, which can result in the collapse of the seawall.
Seawalls need to be in good condition at all times, otherwise under severe storm or tidal surge collapse may occur, causing flooding, severe land erosion, and water intrusion.

What we do:
Seawall Repair
Seawalls, the structural barriers between property and bodies of
water, can begin to erode and degrade. When this occurs, Robbins Gunite
does several things to ensure that the seawall will remain standing.
An example of rip-rap that is being covered with gunite with gunite
Robbins Gunite takes care to stabilize the seawall, by adding bags of sand and cement known as Rip-rap. These bags are placed in areas where erosion has occurred under water, in front of wall, which helps support the overall structure of the wall while our specialists apply the gunite process to the exterior, encasing the bags during the procedure. The effect of the cement in the Rip-rap being coated with the gunite, results in a powerful bonding, leaving the seawall stronger and more resilient than it was before.
The Finished Product:
After stabilizing and repairing the seawall with gunite and riprap, the structure becomes as good as new and is aesthetically correct.
