Types of Docks and Materials

United Docks, LLC. specializes in aluminum structures. In some cases, steel may be used but we feel that aluminum is typically a better option. In today’s market, steel is more cost-effective than aluminum but requires more maintenance over the years. Pound for pound, aluminum is stronger than steel. There is no better material to combat the corrosion problem of water on metal. Our aluminum structures require very little maintenance. We work with clients to determine which material best serves their needs. Once the material for your structure is selected, you will need to determine if stationary or a floating structure would work best. This is determined by the depth of water, currents, and typical wind speeds and direction for that area.

Computer Aided Design

United Docks, LLC. use state of the art CAD software in custom designing each structure. This assures our clients that any issue with the custom dock is resolved in the design room before it even hits the fabrication floor. Clients will be given the opportunity to review a drawing and make changes as necessary to ensure the dock of their dreams is the dock that is delivered.
