The primary causes are Fort Pierce Inlet generating the third-highest tidal exchange volume of any Florida east coast inlet south of Jacksonville. Combined with inlet-adjacent sandy soils with strong tidal scour at seawall footings and dock slabs, these forces accelerate void formation, panel cracking, and joint separation. Fort Pierce Inlet is one of Florida's most active tidal exchange inlets. Three major hurricane direct hits in 13 years left hidden structural damage throughout the waterfront that continues to reveal itself.

Most Fort Pierce seawall repairs using polyurethane injection or helical tiebacks are completed in 1–2 days. We schedule work around low tide windows for maximum access and accuracy.

Polyurethane injection and maintenance repairs generally do not require permits. We handle all permitting coordination for major projects.

We recommend annual inspections for seawalls older than 20 years, plus inspection after every named storm event. Fort Pierce Inlet is one of Florida's most active tidal exchange inlets.
