Kemah sits right on the Galveston Bay / Clear Lake junction — salt water, constant boat traffic, and serious storm exposure. Jordan Marine Construction builds docks, bulkheads, and seawalls here, including the heavier commercial- and marina-grade work that the waterfront’s wake and surge demand.
This is exactly where our engineering depth pays off. Beyond residential docks, we do licensed, engineered bulkhead and seawall work for the commercial properties, restaurants, and marinas along the Kemah waterfront, all built with saltwater-rated materials and the Corps/GLO permitting that bay frontage requires.

Piling Repair & Replacement in Kemah →Building Conditions in Kemah
Kemah is busy, tidal, salt water with heavy boat traffic and wake near the boardwalk and channel, plus direct hurricane surge exposure. Structures here need saltwater-rated materials and design that accounts for constant wake and high-energy storm events.
Permitting
Kemah’s bay and channel frontage involves the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Galveston District) and the Texas General Land Office (GLO) for state submerged land, with Galveston County and city review. We manage coastal permitting for residential and commercial sites.
Kemah Marine Construction FAQs
Do you build commercial and marina-grade structures in Kemah?
Yes. Kemah’s waterfront includes restaurants, marinas, and commercial frontage, and we do the licensed, engineered bulkhead, seawall, and dock work that scale requires — heavier than a typical residential build and designed for constant wake and storm surge.
Why do Kemah structures need saltwater-rated materials?
Kemah is full-salinity bay water with heavy tidal movement. Untreated timber and standard hardware corrode and fail quickly, so we use 2.5 CCA treated timber, galvanized or stainless fasteners, and steel or vinyl bulkhead systems built for salt.
