Docks & Piers
Fixed, floating, and swim piers built tight to a constant-level shoreline.
Bulkheads & Retaining Walls
Shoreline retention on Lake Austin: 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.
Before you build on Lake Austin.
Who approves shoreline construction on Lake Austin?
Lower Colorado River Authority and the City of Austin — and requirements change over time, so we verify the current rules and carry the approvals as part of every project rather than leaving them to the owner.
Does a stable lake level make construction easier on Lake Austin?
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.
Does Shore Tech build on Lake Austin?
Yes, selectively. Dave regularly travels for the right project, and Lake Austin is squarely inside Shore Tech's working footprint across Texas, southern Oklahoma, and western Louisiana. Call to talk through scope and scheduling.
