The DiMucci Towers were hit by hurricanes Ian and Nicole in 2022 washing nearly a third of their property into the ocean. Their twelve foot high seawall of 50 years was gone leaving the building completely exposed to the sea. Enter Florida Seawall Solutions to replace the 400 foot long wall with a new state-of-the-art, high tech wall.

"I'm very pleased and our condo owners are very pleased. We have heard nothing but positive feedback about what's going on here. This is going to be like a brand new property. The Florida Seawall crew is absolutely professional. They're respectful and responsive. They're just professionals. I can't say it any other way. They've been a delight to work with and they're very straightforward. They don't sugarcoat it. They tell us the good, the bad and the ugly. I, and the rest of the board, feel like they're extremely honest. The board and I recommend Florida Seawall Solutions to everybody that we speak to."
The previous seawall at Sanibel Condominium had been destroyed after Hurricane Ian. Sanibel contacted FSS after seeing some previous work done along the beach nearby.
FSS replaced 300 foot of their failed concrete seawall panels with all-new composite sheet seawall panels. On top of the composite sheet piles, FSS added helical tiebacks every 10 foot along with a 3 foot wide by 2 foot tall reinforced concrete cap.
The customer contacted FSS because the seawall on the property had aged out.
FSS installed a new vinyl seawall in front of his existing seawall, using a mixture of 16 and 18 foot panels combined with a 2x2 foot concrete cap. To add extra support, FSS filled in between the existing and old walls with concrete.
The customer called FSS because the seawall had failed and caused significant erosion near their home. FSS applied for an emergency permit and was able to get it approved, reducing the permitting process by about 4 months.
End results, FSS removed the failing 130 foot wall and replaced it with a new vinyl seawall with concrete cap and tie-backs.
The customer was doing a backyard renovation and needed a new seawall.
FSS installed under the right conditions an 80 foot vinyl seawall. While installing the seawall they ran into multiple complications they were able to solve and work through. Including voids under the neighboring foundation. To solve this issue FSS added concrete to the neighbor's foundation as well to ensure there would not be any future erosion to the Weir residence.
Specific details for the build include, FSS built a new 80 foot seawall with a robust 20 inch by 24 inch wide and 80 foot long reinforced cap, along with 10 helical tiebacks.
The customer reached out to FSS because they needed a new seawall built. They wanted to add a pool to their property but needed to ensure their new pool would be stable by building a seawall first.
FSS built a new 80 foot vinyl seawall with helical tiebacks every 9 feet along with a reinforced concrete cap that was 20 inches by 24 inches wide and 80 feet long.
The customer's previous seawall had been wiped out due to Hurricane Ian. They reached out to FSS to remove their old wall and replace it with a new 90 foot vinyl seawall.
The customer's new 90 foot vinyl seawall was topped with a 20 inch by 24 inch concrete cap along with helical tiebacks every 9 foot.
Hurricane Ian destroyed 35 feet of the customer's 70 foot seawall. To save the customer money FSS only replaced the damaged section with new vinyl seawall since the other half of the project was still in good condition and did not need to be replaced.
The section that was damaged was replaced with new vinyl sheet pile, topped off with 20 inch by 24 inch reinforced concrete cap, along with helical tiebacks every 9 foot on center.
The problem the customer had was there was a 6’ wide concrete walkway that was covering up years of soil loss. It was happening behind his wall from failing seams. The walkway started to collapse. Joe called us and I went out and recommended that we demo the walkway and do injections at every seam, install jet filters to keep it flowing, and then rebuild the walkway and retaining wall.
The client was concerned because their seawall was bowing, and they had a few 'potholes' in their yard. Upon further inspection, it became apparent that their tie-backs had deteriorated away leaving the wall practically freestanding. A strong tide or storm could have pulled the wall right over. Also, their wall seams were no longer sealed, and this allowed soil behind the wall to erode through the wall and out into the water causing the potholes and voids in the yard.
With the client's permission we not only fixed the tiebacks, sealed the seams, and filled the potholes, but we also installed a new 120-foot seawall cap and sidewalk. And we added a nice waterside patio and steps so they can enjoy their waterfront property even more.
