GULF BREEZE FL, new stair addition to a large hillside, replacing failing tiebacks on a seawall
On this project here, the customer wanted to move the Sarra system out of their view so we moved it to the side of the property with a much gradual easier set of stairs to walk on then installed new three-quarter type 316 stainless steel tieback rods with new tieback pilings to support the Seawall the previous rods had corroded and failed. We also move the customers lift catwalk to fit a larger boat, then installed a dock for easier access along with two sets of aluminum retractable stairs.

We just started the demo of the Galia marina that was taking out during hurricane Sally. This Brina was built out of greenheart pilings which was harvested from Guyana and South America in the Amazon. These polls are 90 pounds per cubic foot with the density of 3000 psi as strong as concrete. Very heavy I decided to purchase a sawmill to start chopping these up for hardwood Flooring cabinets wh...
GULF BREEZE FL FAILING SEAWALL REPLACEMENT, Prayers for President Trump and family’s affected

Here’s another seawall in a line of Seawalls that were replacing the equals 300 foot. This one was a little more difficult due to the overhang of the large oak tree in the existing boathouse. Once we got started, there was an existing vinyl wall that was failing and a creosote wall that had been Replaced and left in place that we had to remove. 
GULF BREEZE FL SEAWALL REPLACEMENT
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 2 měsíci
The seawall was failing due to the tiebacks rusting off and the old Timber wall being eaten by Treto board worms. Upon removing this wall, we found another creosote wall behind that it failed also that we had to remove. We didn’t install a new 20 foot sheet piling with 20 foot naval style piles to support the embankment.

On this project we met our engineer on site to discover the pilings that support the retainer wall were notched almost into for the tieback rods to support the wall. This is not satisfactory as you could see in the video. Some of the pilings had started to fail and split so we reinforced the wall. At the same time but the vibration I believe some of the existing pilings on the observation deck ...

On this project, we were going to remove the customers, old Boardwalk and aluminum seawall that was failing. After discussing the project with him, I advised him to increase the elevation of the wall to be able to possibly install a pool in a future and get some of the slope out of the yard, which he was on board with, the transformation of this is amazing!

Looks great! Where do you get the panels to fit your awning? Do you cut them down or have them custom made to fit?
Thanks for watching my channel and your question. Baker Metal local metal fabrication place here will cut them to the size that you need.

Thanks really appreciate the kind words and watching channel 😊
Good People, Great Leadership!
😊
Experience, you have been there before and know what to do ! Watching you from Raleigh/ Durham NC USA and your hard working people make the difference, could not do it with out good people with great leadership!
Thanks for your kind words and watching! I really appreciate that
You do have the skills to pay the bills indeed
I bet the licensing is a bot for this trade
Thanks for watching my channel and, yeah, it was about a six hour test when I took it back in the day not sure what all the different requirements are today
@@DaleWHickmanwhat specific license did you need to get for marine construction?
Very nice job!
Thanks for watching the channel and your comment we appreciate that!
😎😎
When you remove a piling, does the hole fill back in quickly? Also, when installing the new piling how far/close are you from the original hole? Just curious, Ive never R&R and piling. Can you do a video talking about your barge?
at @14:55 made me nervous.
Thanks for your comment and watching my channel. We got some good white sugar sand here and it feels back in almost immediately and yes, we can install in the same hole if that’s the way or layout works with the vibration system that I use it compact the sand, nice and tightly around the Piling.
Yeah, you really have to be on your toes with this thing. These poles are very heavy. I gotta make sure I keep that blade in front of me while picking up the Piling so I don’t tip over.
@@DaleWHickman Thanks for response.
Dale’s Marine, What ever it takes ! We have been there before and We Know How to get it Done ! Watching from Raleigh / Durham ,NC USA
Thanks for watching my channel. I appreciate your comment. That is good to hear. Thanks for letting me know where you’re from! Keep up the good work. 💪👍
Amateur rednecks
Really nice job. Is this pond always so murky?
Thanks for watching my channel and your question. Just Merkey because we’ve been jetting holes for the Piling stirring up the mud.
Like all the videos.
Thank you, Taylor
Man , all those demo jobs look overwhelming!! ( what a mess! ) lol , Hey Dale, How much of those Amazonian green poles do you think you guys will be able to salvage ? And do you have a rough idea of when they may be ready at the Rec yard ? I just might have to make the trip over to grab some of them ! Hopefully you can salvage a few to use as pilings ! Man I would think those will make some top quality rec poles !! Let me know if you get a chance please 👍 Great work as always!! ✌🏼
Hey Britt, yes we have salvage probably about 600 of them so far and probably have another 500 to go. I purchased a sawmill and now I am mailing them up into Good lumber. This stuff is very heavy 90 pounds per cubic foot density of 3000 psi You can see what we have in stock on my wife’s Facebook page if you like. facebook.com/Hickmansreclaimeddockwoodforsale/
What do yal do with the old pilings ? That still have life in them ? Is it a buyer putting them to use ? Good video thanks from central MS
Thanks for your question and watch how much channel if you would check out this link, my wife has a reclaimed yard and everything that is still good gets processed and sold. facebook.com/Hickmansreclaimeddockwoodforsale/
And also that greenheart wood is great stuff. Man i miss marine work. Stuck out here in Louisiana driving pile for bridges
Thanks for your comment and watching my page I appreciate that first time I’ve ever dealt with the greenheart some heavy stuff and beautiful
Absolutely. My pleasure. I used to a lot of marine construction in Miami. And to be honest I'm impressed with the amount of work you can do with that little 308. And the greenheart are very heavy. Id say anywhere fro 80 to 100 lbs a linear foot. But they're definitely superior to a cca pile because of the natural oils that inhibit marine growth. But they definitely cost some $$$.
Are you required to have a Florida issued gc license to do this kinda work
Yes, she required to have a specialty marine contractors license or a state bring contractors license and a GC contractor can do it as well
Oh no a Yankee 😂
😂😂
Keep the update coming!! Very cool
Thanks for your comment and watching sorry it’s been a while. I just stay so busy on that tractor now.
Did you use any treatment on the wooden piles to be in direct contact with the water?
Thanks for your question and watching my channel Filing to have a marine saltwater treatment of 2.5 CCA, which is the amount allowed by Florida
Nice to a legit knowledgeable company in Fl to be honest. I've been heavy construction for 35 years, and some of the stuff I have seen allowed in home construction down there was disgusting.
Thanks for watching in your comment. Yes there are some shady builders here and there, but there are some good ones. Also appreciate your kind comments about my company.
Pizza actually looked good for Florida 😅
Thank you for watching my channel Yes, the pizza is very good. Depends on the places you go.
Enjoy the content. Hello from fort walton beach
Thanks for watching. I appreciate your comment!
Do you train / work with contractors qualifying for their own license ?
Thanks for watching my channel and your question. Haven’t really set up a program for doing that as of yet especially not in a local area lol I don’t want to train my competition because I’ll be as good as me 😂😂
@@DaleWHickman I’m in a different market which is why I asked. Down in Tampa area but what you said will apply if I go to anyone here lol.
@@DaleWHickman I’m not looking to be trained by someone I’ll be in the same area competing with, so I respect that and understand that from a business perspective but I would like to learn from someone good versus anyone who will teach me catch my drift capt? 😎
I used to do the same shit and we wore flip flops. our shirt had a chainsaw with a pair of flip flops on it. This is maritime industry not general industry and osha regulations are different
Make sure watch my channel and your comment yeah some of my guys would wear flip-flops. If I let them we try to at least protect our feet.
Hey I build out here in Louisiana thanks for ur videos gives me a different view on projects
Very cool!
I’ve watched this video in the past and enjoyed it a second time. I wish all your content went into detail like this did. I recently had to look at replacing our dock and really appreciate an inside look into this industry.
Thanks for watching the video. I do like sharing lot Detail but I don’t want to give away too many of Custom secrets of construction 😃
I understand totally. I went through a lot of frustration recently with local contractors and ended up replacing a 50’ section on our dock myself. I spent a lot of time on your channel and others looking at different construction methods. Thanks.
a total waste of moony; will fail in time. Nature's guarantee.
Thanks for your comment and question. Check this job out the other day as we’re building something on the lot and everything looks as when we built it
Damn that's a sexy equipment... Never get tired of seeing but at a starting price $160,000 it is not cheap. There ought to be a law where it's illegal to have such a sexy machine in such horrible conditions (saltwater)
Thanks for your comment. Yes, I do love the 308 track very versatile.
Is it possible to use this anchor for slanted retaining walls? There's a house 1.5m away, above the retaining walls
Thank you for you’r comment and question yes they are very usable in that situation. You just gotta make sure you get the right size anchor and the proper penetration to be able to carry the load.
That is sexy... Look at that lady caterpillar standing tall and proud on the barge, demanding respect from anyone who lays eyes on her.... I tilt my hat to the cat lady
😄
Man! those caterpillars equipment are sexy as hell but they're also expensive..... You can get a bigger machine such as a Sany, Yanmar, hell even bobcat for the price of a cat 308.... But it is true that a cat is a sexy machine, if I was a machine looking to marry, caterpillar 308 would be my wife.... I would have hit on the 310 but that will be too much of a machine so I would settle with the 308
😂
These guys do good jobs..... I see they use a 4 ×4 on the retaining wall instead of the green telephone poles, I wonder if it was for cost. early 90s after hurricane Andrew swept through South Florida I was working next to an FPL lineman crew and he made the comment that one of those green poles are 600.00 a piece.... I was going to run over some polls that was in the way... And I made the comment dude ask the only way to get around to the other side if the pole breaks so be it..... That he said no man Apple 600 bucks I don't want to hear from the people at the top don't break it...... I was shocked add the cost of those green poles
Thanks for your comment and question. The 4 x 4‘s are just temporary supports to hold the wailer up if it’s a conventional non-naval style wall where we typically use pilings.
What's the rule of thumb on The driven depth in sand?
Thanks for your comment and question. Soil conditions and water depth have a lot to do with the proper penetration of my docs in a Sandy situation. We like to get a minimum of eight, but I do prefer 10 as far as the minimum I would say six, but I do like 8’ that.
These guys do good work.... I always wondered how long equipment lasts for the Marine companies under those harsh conditions. It must be expensive as hell to build docks and seawall because if you have to replace your equipment every 6 to 7 years and the caterpillar 308 it's about $170,000 that is not pocket change.... I've been to auctions and you can tell the equipment that was used by the Marine companies... Because they're all rotten to hell.... Marine companies most least their equipments
Thanks for watching my page and your comment you are correct. We have to do daily maintenance on our equipment to keep it in shape because the saltwater will really eat it up.
Mine has failed at 10 years
Thanks for watching my page. That’s terrible to hear what was the cause of the retainer wall failure? The construction method?
Amazing videos with detail! From all the sea walls I’ve seen you build, how come concrete caps are almost never used?
Thanks for your comment and question. Concrete; caps really increases the cost of the seawall. It makes it hard to be competitive with some of the smaller contractors in the area. Most people just really don’t care for it. They like the synthetic top cap which allows a good pressure release during storms with the gaps in between the deck.
We use concrete slats what we in Carolina is called pig slats but we use those instead of those metal catwalks any ideas why they don’t use that over in your parts?
Thanks for watching my channel and your question not really sure what that is. Sounds like it might be pretty heavy also.
Great job! I'm looking to get something similar to that done on my backyard
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate that and watch my channel. Good luck on your project.
@@DaleWHickman do you guys do out of state work? I'm in SC
Hi Dale love the pile diving with the compactor. Is the excavator a 5T? And what size compactor do you use?
Thanks for watching my channel in your question. It is a 308 cat with a cat compact.
The Armstrong way , or Dales way?
😂👍
Great skills and very hard working people indeed !
Thanks for watching my channel in your comment. Yes, they are a bunch of hard-working guys.
I hope y’all won’t miss too much with this storm
Damn..!!! Now I understand where the 309 cat will come in handy, with one hydraulic pump dedicated to the auxiliary
👍👊💪
That boardwalk looks real nice... Damn, I need to make a seawall and a boardwalk, I wonder what the average linear price for seawalls is... interesting
Thanks for watching my channel and your comment. There’s a lot of different variables to go in to pricing that would have to be something done by the estimating department. I don’t like to share prices on the Internet as giving away numbers to local competition.
Prayers for president Trump? Get off your fucking knees.
How long will the wood last before it rots. On the wall, deadman, etc. TY
Thanks for your comment and question if proper treatment is used on the deadman pilings they last forever as long as you eliminate the oxygen decreases rot. But you definitely have to use the right treatments.
That says Bugs to me sitting here in Merrick, NY.
Thanks for your comment in question you are correct bugs snakes, alligators
Nice work you do
Thank you
