Custom Boathouses

Docks & Piers
Fixed, floating, and swim piers designed for big seasonal water-level swings.
Bulkheads & Retaining Walls
Shoreline retention on Lake Buchanan: 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 Buchanan.
Do I need a permit from the Lower Colorado River Authority?
Almost always, yes — dock, bulkhead, and dredging work on Lake Buchanan runs through the Lower Colorado River Authority's shoreline program. Shore Tech prepares and manages that application as part of the project.
Water levels swing on Lake Buchanan. How does that change a design?
It changes everything from pile length to lift selection. We design to the lake's full operating range — walkway slopes, bumper heights, and anchoring that still work at both extremes, not just at normal pool.
Does Shore Tech build on Lake Buchanan?
Yes, selectively. Dave regularly travels for the right project, and Lake Buchanan is squarely inside Shore Tech's working footprint across Texas, southern Oklahoma, and western Louisiana. Call to talk through scope and scheduling.
