RockSolid Docks

The RockSolid Dock reduces the impact of wave action, making for more stable footing during inclement weather. Boats moored in RockSolid slips will be better protected from hazards of bumping and rocking in rough waters.

Flexible Manufacturing Locations
Large projects can be produced locally.

The dock segments are strong and the way they are lifted is likely greater than any stress encountered in service as seen here as they are being loaded for shipment to the gulf coast. The construction is 5000 PSI concrete mix implementing the latest technology for corrosion resistance. We use corrosion inhibiters as recommended by the Concrete Inhibitors Association.

In the enormous world of coastline marinas, the common concrete floating dock designs use one of two connection systems: the hardwood-supported “Whaler Connection System” or the steel supported “Cable Connection System.” Although both have proven effective, RockSolid Docks has another solution.

RockSolid Dock’s system is uniquely known as the “Quadrant Connection System” (patent pending). This method uses six imbed attachments at every segment connection; each attachment is capable of bearing the entire connection load by itself.

Rigid but flexible. Implementing all stainless hardware Rock Solid Docks produces commercial docking systems. These systems utilize a precision hinge allowing long segments that move as necessary eliminating critical stresses. Because the structure is allowed to move piling requirements are minimal if necessary.

When you compare RockSolid Docks to conventional galvanized steel and aluminum dock structures, the first and most important point of difference is the weight and mass offered by concrete. A RockSolid Dock is anywhere from four to seven times heavier than a conventional dock of the same configuration. This additional load mass will provide greater wind resistance as well.

The RockSolid Dock reduces the impact of wave action, making footing more stable and allowing for easier balance when walking on and climbing to and from watercraft. This characteristic improves safety, especially for younger children and older adults. This wake-reducing characteristic also will make summer sun decks more enjoyable during peak boat traffic.

Watercraft moored in a RockSolid Dock slip are better protected from the hazards of bumping and rocking due to extreme weather and heavy powerboat produced wake. The RockSolid Dock protects your hard-earned investment dollars!

RockSolid means more protection and enhancement for your most cherished possessions.

A RockSolid Dock is a smarter investment for the educated waterfront home and boat owner.

Over the life of the dock, maintenance costs will be lower and durability greater than comparable aluminum and galvanized steel docks. Concrete is different from metal in that it does not rust or oxidize.

Unlike most wood decking, concrete will not need periodic treatment with protective sealants and coatings to maintain structure and appearance. Oh, and no wood splinters for those tender young feet.

Conventional lighter-weight docks will require special heavy-duty boat lifts to bring the watercraft out of the water. Most often these boat lifts must be mounted to lift from underneath the boat and can be restricted by shallow water depths. RockSolid Docks' stability will support lighter, less expensive boat lifts for heavier boats that mount overhead and are not limited by water depth.
