Foundation Pilings & Marine Piling

Solid Foundations: Why Piling is Crucial for Your Southern MD Project

When it comes to building, whether it's a sturdy home on land or a robust pier extending into the Chesapeake Bay, the foundation is everything. And in many cases, especially in areas with challenging soil conditions like Southern Maryland, that foundation relies heavily on pilings.

Pilings are essentially long, strong columns driven deep into the ground. They transfer the weight of your structure through soft or unstable soil layers down to more competent, load-bearing strata. Without properly installed pilings, your beautiful new home could settle unevenly, your pier could shift, or your bulkhead could fail.

Pilings On Land: The Bedrock of Your Home

You might think of pilings as something exclusively for waterfront projects, but they're frequently a critical component for land-based construction too. If your property has sandy, loose, or high-water-table soil, foundation pilings are often necessary to ensure the long-term stability and safety of your home or commercial building. Ward's Marine has the expertise and equipment to drive these essential pilings, creating a secure base for your investment.

Pilings On Water: The Backbone of Piers and Bulkheads

For marine construction, pilings are undeniably the stars of the show. They are the backbone of your pier, providing the essential support that allows it to withstand currents, tides, and even harsh weather conditions. Similarly, bulkheads, which protect your shoreline from erosion, rely on properly driven pilings to maintain their integrity and keep your property safe. We've installed treated pilings up to an impressive 65 feet in length, demonstrating our capability to handle even the most demanding waterfront projects.
