Read on to understand more about steel seawall construction.
Steel SeawallsSteel seawalls are not only beautiful, but they also get the job done. Steel seawalls can prevent erosion of your waterfront by effectively blocking waves and currents, allowing for better area use.
All concrete seawalls, bulkheads, and retaining walls eventually fail. The failure is usually caused by one or more of the following:
CostThe steel seawall cost per foot depends on the height of the wall, with a lower price for a 6-foot wall than an eight or 10-foot wall. These costs do not include the extra work necessary to install a steel sheet piling system and do not include costs for the required riprap protection and special backfill at the toe of the wall.
The cost of a steel seawall depends on the size and complexity of the project. The price range is from $25 to $50 per square foot installed.
Seawall Construction MethodSteel Seawalls are a popular choice for protecting coastal areas because they're strong, inexpensive, attractive, and attractive to the public. They're typically constructed in concrete, with rebar (steel rods) and an interlocking steel mesh that allows water to penetrate but not to pass through. However, some builders are looking for other options.
The most cost-effective method of seawall construction is the normal method of making a seawall — which involves digging a trench and pouring the concrete into it. However, these methods can be costly:
Dry-stack = digging a trench and pouring dry concrete from a truck or boat onto the pile (this is the most common method in Texas)
Precast = attaching pre-made concrete forms to the seafloor
Rollform = using rollers to form concrete on a conveyor belt as it's pumped in from trucks or barges
The most expensive option is to use prefabricated steel forms that are only partially connected. Only about half of them are embedded in concrete, so you have to pour extra around them. And you also have to carve out larger holes around them when you pour the rest of the concrete.

All concrete seawalls, bulkheads, and retaining walls eventually fail. The failure is usually caused by one or more of the following:
- Lack of proper drainage behind the wall
- Lack of appropriate structural design
- Lack of proper engineering
- Poor quality control during construction
- Use of improper materials during construction
