Private Docks in Palm Beach
November 26, 2024
Murray Logan Construction, now part of the Vecellio Group, specializes in heavy construction and has a formidable reputation in Southeastern Florida. Recently, Murray Logan has been involved in a significant project in West Palm Beach. This project includes bulkhead repair, removal of an old dock, and the construction of a new dock in a luxury residential area. This work was crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of the private waterfront property. It also highlights Murray Logan's expertise in handling complex and high-value construction tasks, particularly in the challenging waterfront environments of Palm Beach.
Utilizing a rented ICE® 75-AT Hydraulic Rotary Head- Ex-Mounted Auger from International Construction Equipment, Inc. (ICE®), the Murray Logan crew expertly drilled holes along the Intracoastal Waterway to install 14x14x35-40' (ft) length concrete pilings for the newly constructed dock in 8'-10' (ft) of water. Although the hard rock and soil conditions were challenging, the Murray Logan team did not encounter any issues with the drill, stating that, "the ICE® 75-AT has been working very well, and (we) have been extremely happy with the performance."
Selected specifically for drilling and installing the foundation piles for the private docks, the ICE® 75-AT Auger was a perfect choice as it is designed for heavy-duty construction projects and provided the necessary torque and power to drill through various soil conditions and ensure the stability of the dock structures. Other benefits of the ICE® 75-AT include its efficiency, versatility, safety, and cost-effectiveness. This method also does not require drilling fluids, making it suitable for environmental projects and minimizing contamination risks.
Amazing work, Murray Logan! These docks are a testament to the quality and durability of the construction, and the use of advanced equipment like the ICE® 75-AT Auger ensures the stability and longevity of these structures. ICE® is proud to support clients like Murray Logan Construction with projects like these, blending modern luxury with the area's rich historical and cultural heritage. Residents and visitors alike are sure to be "wowed" by the ongoing development and enhancement of Palm Beach's architectural landscape.
