Bulkheads and seawalls do the same job: holding land back from water. Sheet pile bulkheads, common at marinas and commercial properties, face corrosion, joint separation and toe scour.
Repairs range from sealing joints and patching sheet piles to adding tiebacks, cathodic protection and new caps.

What's the difference between a bulkhead and a seawall?

The terms are often used interchangeably. Bulkhead typically refers to sheet pile structures in calmer water, while seawall often means concrete walls built to resist waves.
