Do you handle CAMA permits for Topsail Beach projects?
Yes. Topsail Beach falls under Pender County CAMA general permits, and we walk every application through with you. A floating dock needs about 18 inches of water at low tide. We probe the bottom on every site and recommend a fixed pier or hybrid if depth is borderline.

How deep do you drive pilings?
We drive every piling to refusal — usually 12 to 20 feet depending on the bottom. We do not stop short to save time.
>
Will my pier survive a hurricane?
A pier built to refusal with stainless hardware and a properly engineered roof will survive a direct Category 2 hit. Florence took out hundreds of piers in 2018; ours stayed.
