A commercial dock is not a bigger version of a residential dock, it is a working structure built to survive constant traffic, heavy equipment, and daily abuse. Marinas, marine contractors, fish houses, restaurants, condo associations, and municipalities all depend on docks that cannot fail during business hours. DRG Construction builds commercial dock systems throughout New York and Florida, engineered for load ratings, ADA access, fire safety, and the saltwater environments that destroy underbuilt structures.
As a marine construction company with crews in both states, we handle commercial waterfront projects from Long Island Sound to the Intracoastal Waterway, including projects that require USACE permits, waterfront zoning compliance, and engineered load documentation.
Commercial Projects We Build
- Marina docks and slips: Finger piers, main walks, fuel dock approaches, and transient tie-ups built for constant traffic and heavy lines.
- Condo and HOA waterfront access: Multi-user docks and walkways built to association standards and ADA requirements.
- Contractor and work docks: Heavy-duty structures sized for equipment, materials, and crane loads.
- Restaurant and resort waterfront decks: Public-facing structures where appearance, safety, and code all matter.
- Municipal and public launches: Town docks, patrol boat access, and public waterfront infrastructure built for decades of use.
- Repair and rebuild programs: Phased reconstruction of aging commercial structures while keeping operations running.
Engineering and Materials for Commercial Service
Commercial work starts with load design. We spec pilings, framing, and decking for the actual equipment and occupancy the structure will carry, not residential rules of thumb. Treated and tropical hardwoods, marine-grade aluminum, concrete panels, and composite systems are matched to the environment, and hardware is chosen for saltwater service over a decades-long maintenance cycle.
We also plan for the parts of commercial work that happen off the water: permitting through the Army Corps and state agencies, staging around active operations, and building in phases so your business keeps running while the structure is replaced or extended.
