Gibson Marine Construction announces completion of seawall project for Gulf Island Condominiums

December 12, 2010 by gibson Leave a Comment

PASCO COUNTY, FL – Gibson Marine Construction is pleased to announce the completion of a 350-foot seawall project at Gulf Island Condominiums in Hudson, Florida.  The project began in January and was completed before anticipated in only four weeks.

The seawall project at Gulf Island consisted of installing 350-feet of ESP 8.5 vinyl sheet piling, cap, anchoring system and sidewalk.  Gibson Marine Construction uses a high performance vinyl and composite sheet piling providing protection against corrosion, erosion and UV damage from the sun.  A seawall, also known as a bulkhead or retaining wall, keeps the water from eroding the soil back into the water.

Ed Breese, Gulf Island Condominium Homeowners Association President said, “We are quite pleased with the results of this project.  Gibson helped us design the seawall to protect our property and to prevent erosion.  The retaining wall was built very quickly and the residents have done nothing but compliment Gibson’s work.  The team was cooperative and responsive throughout the process and we are very satisfied with the product, construction quality and service.”

Gibson Marine Construction are state certified general contractors and have over 30 years of local experience in building seawalls, docks and installing boat lifts for homeowners, resort communities, golf courses and developers.  Owner Eric Swauger said he “is thrilled with the way this project progressed.  The project was completed ahead of schedule and within budget, a standard for all of our projects.”

Are you prepared for Hurricane Season?

December 12, 2010 by gibson Leave a Comment

Owners of waterfront property understand the possibility of violent storms that bring and those gale force winds!  Hurricane season is here and you need to be prepared.

To ensure the safety of you and property, it is important to tend to all necessary precautions that are imperative at the start of hurricane season… no minor details should be overlooked!  The NOAA predicts 8 to 14 hurricanes during the 2010 hurricane season so time is of the essence.

There are certain essentials that should always be considered upon making your own checklist.  Among these are water, non-perishable food, radio, batteries, and important documents.  Make sure that you have a minimal of 1 gallon a day per person for anywhere from three to seven days.  Non-perishable foods include canned items, snacks in sealable bags, and liquids such as juices that hold good amounts of sugar.  A radio will allow for you to keep contact with what is going on and update with frequent weather reports.  Batteries will not only power your radio but ensure that light is possible with a flash light even after the sun goes down.  Important documents need to be maintained in a water sealed case which can include but not limited to insurance, financial account numbers, social security cards, and medical records.

Palm Harbor community seawall upgrades are par for the course

Palm Harbor community seawall upgrades are par for the course

 

PINELLAS COUNTY, FL – A local golf course recently received a much needed overhaul of their retaining walls and drainage on the golf course at Highland Lakes retirement community in Palm Harbor.  When Highland Lakes needed to replace their wood retaining walls on three of their holes, they turned to Gibson Marine Construction to do the job.

The golf course project consisted of replacing the wood retaining walls on three different holes with 800-feet of ESP 4.1 vinyl sheet piling, wood cap and anchoring system.  Gibson Marine Construction uses a high performance vinyl and composite sheet piling providing protection against corrosion, erosion and UV damage from the sun.  A retaining wall, also known as a bulkhead or seawall, keeps the water from eroding the soil back into the water. The project took less than 4 weeks to complete, and was constructed on-time and on-budget, a standard for all of Gibson’s projects.

The team at Gibson Marine Construction also re-routed the drainage system by adding drain and catch pipes, stabilized the greens and t-boxes and sodded one of the holes.

 

The Highland Oaks Homeowners Association Facilities superintendent is so pleased with the work they have completed, they have recently contracted Gibson for future work.

Gibson Marine Construction is a state certified general contractor and have over 30 years of local experience in building seawalls, docks and installing boat lifts for homeowners, resort communities, golf courses and developers.  Project Manager Mike Mittler has been working to expand the business into more housing communities and golf courses.  “We have recently expanded our services to reach more golf courses and housing communities from north Florida to Miami.  Projects like Highland Lakes are a natural fit for us.”
