Lakes We Serve · TX

Marine construction on Inks Lake.

Spread across Burnet and Llano counties, Inks Lake is a roughly 800-acre on Colorado River whose waterfront communities center on Burnet.

Know the Water

Granite-rimmed constant-level water by the state park.

Water levels here stay comparatively steady, which rewards fixed piers, full-height bulkheads, and boathouses built tight to the waterline. The Lower Colorado River Authority oversees the shoreline, and dock and bulkhead work runs through its permitting program — requirements Shore Tech folds into the design from day one.

What We Build Here

Full-scope waterfront work on Inks Lake.

Custom Boathouses

Entertainment-grade boathouses on Inks Lake — open-gable cooling, lifts, lighting, and storm-rated substructures.

Docks & Piers

Fixed, floating, and swim piers built tight to a constant-level shoreline.

Bulkheads & Retaining Walls

Shoreline retention on Inks Lake: galvanized steel, vinyl, FRP composite, and heavy timber — matched to the soil and exposure.

Precision Dredging

Boat slip, shoreline, and access-channel dredging — material pumped for backfill reuse instead of hauled off by truck.

Things To Know

Before you build on Inks Lake.

01

Do I need a permit from the Lower Colorado River Authority?

Almost always, yes — dock, bulkhead, and dredging work on Inks Lake runs through the Lower Colorado River Authority's shoreline program. Shore Tech prepares and manages that application as part of the project.

02

Does a stable lake level make construction easier on Inks Lake?

It helps — fixed piers and full-height bulkheads thrive on constant-level water. The structure can be built tight to the waterline without designing for a huge seasonal swing.

03

Does Shore Tech build on Inks Lake?

Yes, selectively. Dave regularly travels for the right project, and Inks Lake is squarely inside Shore Tech's working footprint across Texas, southern Oklahoma, and western Louisiana. Call to talk through scope and scheduling.
