Dock Pilings:
Choosing Pilings for Docks

Dock pilings are a specific type of pipe piling that are used to create secure foundations for docks built near oceans, lakes, rivers, and bays. Dock pilings transfer the heavy load from a dock or structure to the strong soil or rock below. Dock pilings can be made out of a variety of materials and are available in a variety of lengths. Because of the variety of dock pilings available, they can support heavy loads from concrete structures as well as light wooden docks. Pilings can be used when building docks, boat docks, house boat docks, and other structures near the coastline in both salt and freshwater.

When you are buying dock pilings, it is important to buy dock pilings that are long enough to extend above the waterline after being driven to a sufficient depth under water. Additionally, you should consider the different types of dock pilings that are available. Types of dock pilings that are commonly used include wood, concrete, polymer, and steel pilings. When determining the best type of dock piling, you should consider the water conditions that your dock will have to withstand as well as the overall weight and load of the dock.

Steel dock pilings offer the greatest load capacities as well as durable corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of steel dock pilings is related to the overall steel wall thickness and the corrosion resistant coatings, which have been applied. By using steel dock pilings with a thick outer diameter wall and / or special coatings, you can be sure that steel dock pilings will offer durable support for years to come. Steel dock pilings offer great strength and can even be filled with concrete or other materials to increase the load capacity.
