Galveston is the most demanding waterfront we build on — full Gulf salt, strong tides, and the front line for hurricane surge. Jordan Marine Construction engineers and builds bulkheads, seawalls, piers, and docks here for that worst-case exposure, and it’s one of our strongest markets (our Galveston bulkhead pages already rank well).
On the island and around the bay, we build with 2.5 CCA saltwater-rated timber, steel and vinyl sheet systems, deep pilings, and corrosion-resistant hardware — all engineered for surge and high wave energy. We carry the Corps and GLO coastal permitting that Galveston work always involves.

Galveston sees the harshest exposure in our service area: full Gulf salinity, strong tidal current, and direct hurricane landfall and surge. Bulkheads, seawalls, and pilings here are engineered to the highest loads with saltwater-rated materials, deep embedment, and surge-aware design.
Permitting
Galveston is full coastal jurisdiction — the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Galveston District) for navigable waters and the Texas General Land Office (GLO) for state-owned submerged land are central to nearly every project, alongside city and county review. We manage the full coastal permit package.
Galveston Marine Construction FAQs
How do you build for hurricane surge in Galveston?
Galveston is direct hurricane-surge territory, so we engineer bulkheads and seawalls with deep piling embedment, heavier sheet systems, proper tiebacks, and surge-aware cap elevations, all in saltwater-rated materials. The goal is structures that survive the storms the island actually gets.
What permitting does Galveston coastal work require?
Nearly every Galveston project involves the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Galveston District) and the Texas General Land Office for state submerged land, plus city and county review. Jordan Marine Construction handles this full coastal permit package.
