Riprap revetments and sills - Northern Neck Marine Construction Inc creates riprap revetments by installing armor stone both by machine and hand stacking. We over-engineer revetments to ensure they're storm-worthy and can handle the Chesapeake Bay's ever-changing waters.

Rely on us to handle your entire project from managing the initial permits to the final day of cleanup. Whether you have existing rip rap in need of repair or are planning completely new construction, we can take care of it for you. This brochure provides a good explanation of riprap revetments. 

Bulkheads and Seawalls

Bulkheads and seawalls - Our knowledgeable team specializes in the construction and repair of bulkheads and seawalls. These shoreline devices offer fantastic protection against eroding embankments and bluffs. Bulkheads act as retaining walls, which keep the earth or sand behind them in place.

Seawalls are primarily used to resist wave action, while bulkheads are often used in conjunction with riprap revetments to guard against tidal surges. If your bulkhead or seawall needs repairs, we'll diagnose the issue, give you a price, and plan to fix your shoreline problems. From the early drawings to the final day of construction, you can count on us.
