Lake Livingston is big, open water — and that changes how you have to build. Jordan Marine Construction has real projects on Livingston and we engineer docks, bulkheads, and boat houses for the heavy wind-driven wave action the lake’s long fetch creates, not the calmer conditions of a protected cove.
From shoreline communities around Onalaska, Point Blank, and the Trinity arm, we build and repair waterfront structures to Trinity River Authority shoreline rules and the POA standards common around the lake. Bigger water means bigger loads — we plan pilings, tiebacks, and bulkhead height for it.

At roughly 83,000 acres, Lake Livingston is one of the largest lakes in Texas and its open water generates serious wind-driven wave action. Bulkheads and pilings here have to be engineered for fetch and chop far heavier than a small cove — we size structures accordingly using freshwater-rated materials.
Permitting
Lake Livingston is owned and operated by the Trinity River Authority (TRA), which administers shoreline use and permitting for docks, bulkheads, and boat houses around the reservoir. We build to TRA requirements and the local POA rules common in lakeside communities.
Lake Livingston Marine Construction FAQs
Who manages permits on Lake Livingston?
Lake Livingston is operated by the Trinity River Authority (TRA), which oversees shoreline use and permitting for docks, bulkheads, and boat houses. Many lakeside communities also have POA standards. We handle both as part of the project.
Why do bulkheads on Lake Livingston need to be built heavier?
Lake Livingston is one of the largest lakes in Texas, and its open water builds up strong wind-driven waves over long fetch. That wave energy hits shoreline structures much harder than a small cove, so we engineer pilings, tiebacks, and bulkhead height to handle it.
