Pilings & Foundations
FOUNDATIONS THAT NEVER FALTER
At Ramsey Marine, every lasting dock and pier begins with a rock‑solid foundation. We install and drive pilings built to stand firm in New England’s demanding marine conditions, from rocky bottoms to shifting tidal rivers. Whether wood, composite, concrete or steel, our team selects and installs each piling to engineered depth for permanent stability and peace of mind.
The Right Pilings for Your Waterfront
TIMBER
A classic choice for both commercial and residential waterfronts, treated timber piles offer natural flexibility against wind and wave action while resisting impact and wear. Wood’s natural damping properties absorb shock from boats, currents and storms, making it ideal for marinas and fenders.
CONCRETE
Preferred for commercial and high‑load marine environments, concrete pilings that are poured in place provide strength and endurance. Each pile is designed and engineered for its intended location, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and long‑term stability.
HELICAL
When durability and heavy‑load capacity are critical, helical piles deliver unmatched performance. They’re ideal for tight spaces, deep‑water and soft soil. Made of galvanized steal, they install quickly with extreme precision and minimal disturbance: perfect for restricted or environmentally sensitive areas. They’re a modern, efficient solution to stabilize shorelines, decks, and walkways for decades.
FIBERGLASS
Composite fiberglass pilings offer exceptional strength, longevity, and sustainability with virtually no maintenance. Lightweight and corrosion‑proof, they withstand harsh marine conditions and resist rot, rust, and borers. Their high load capacity often allows for fewer pilings per project, lowering installation costs while delivering a durable, storm‑resistant foundation built to last for generations.
RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL
Whether you’re navigating soft river bed, rocky shorelines or deepwater installations, Ramsey Marine offers a full spectrum of piling materials, each with distinct advantages. We’ll work with you to select the ideal match for your site conditions, project goals, and budget.
