Salt water gets into concrete through its cracks and rusts the steel inside, and the rust splits the concrete from within. We shore the deck so it stays supported, cut the damaged concrete back to sound material, clean, treat or replace the corroded steel, and form a new concrete jacket at and below the waterline.

The same repair applies to beams, piers and the underside of waterfront decks. It is mostly for condominium associations, property managers, hotels and marinas whose buildings stand over or beside the water.

Every dock, wall and platform over the water stands on piles. We drive them from a work barge, so the rig reaches the spot from the water and the lot, the lobby and the lawn stay clear.

Piles go in under new docks and platforms, along the shore to carry a seawall, and in place of piles that have failed; existing piles can also take a protective jacket. The work suits marinas and yacht clubs, private owners, and engineers and general contractors who need the foundations for a waterfront structure.

A seawall holds the shore in place and keeps the water off the property behind it. When it fails, the land behind it washes out. We build new and replacement walls, put new concrete caps on walls that are still sound below, add tiebacks and anchors, and repair cracks and joints.

The work protects the ground under buildings, pools, gardens and docks. It is for condominium associations, property managers, marinas and owners of waterfront lots.

We build fixed docks, finger piers, platforms and waterfront decks from the piles to the boards, and repair the ones you have: new decking, stringers and hardware, cleats, bumpers and ladders. The barge brings the crane, the materials and the crew along the water, so the job needs little room on land.

Marinas, yacht clubs, hotels and residential buildings use this work for slips, walkways and decks over the water.

Silt and sediment settle into channels, slips and basins and take away their working depth, and new marine work needs a clean, firm bottom to start on. We dredge for marine construction, for shoreline restoration and for navigation: restoring depth in slips, basins and channels, clearing the bottom along a seawall before it is replaced, and lifting debris and old structure out of the water.

It is for marinas, yacht clubs, waterfront properties, and contractors preparing a site in the water.

On land, Atlantis works as AMS Construction, the trade name it uses for general contracting, and holds the land side of a job to the same standard as the marine work. We drive foundation piling on land, build foundations and slabs near the shoreline, new structures and additions, and rehabilitate the waterfront buildings already there, so one crew covers a job that runs from the waterline inland.

It is for property owners and managers, hotels and marinas, and general contractors who want the waterside and the landside handled together.

Power, light and moving parts installed for marine conditions, usually as part of a larger dock or waterfront job: power and lighting on a dock, pumps and lifts, and the electrical and mechanical work inside a bigger marine project.

It is for marinas, yacht clubs, hotels and residential buildings adding or replacing equipment at the water.
