Here at Skilo Engineering, we specialize in the construction of boat docks, and the quality of our services is of the utmost importance to us. We have a talented team of specialists to build our docks, you can trust us to handle both residential and commercial projects regardless of size.
When choosing a dock type, consider factors such as water conditions, intended use (recreational, commercial), budget, local regulations, and aesthetic preferences. Consulting with dock design professionals like Skilo Engineering can help you determine the most suitable type of boat dock for your situation.
Some of the docks available to you are:
- Fixed Docks: Fixed docks are permanently attached to the shoreline and do not move with changes in water level. They are suitable for locations with relatively stable water levels and minimal wave action.
- Floating Docks: Floating docks are designed to move with the water level, making them ideal for areas with fluctuating water levels or tidal changes.
- Suspension Docks: Suspension docks use cables or chains to suspend the dock from pilings or other support structures. This design allows the dock to move with changing water levels and wave action.
- Boat Lift Docks: Boat lift docks incorporate mechanisms to raise boats out of the water for storage and protection. These docks are common in areas with changing water levels or where boat hulls need to be kept clean and free from algae and debris.
- Commercial Docks: Commercial docks are designed to accommodate larger vessels, such as fishing boats, cargo ships, and ferries. These docks are built to withstand heavy loads and provide access for loading and unloading.
- Custom Docks: Custom docks can be designed to meet specific requirements, combining elements from various dock types to suit unique needs and site conditions.
