Navigating the intricate landscape of seawall regulations and ensuring code compliance can be a daunting task, especially in the coastal paradise of Fort Lauderdale. South Florida Dock and Seawall not only eases this journey but excels in it.
As your trusted advisors and contractors, we bring unparalleled expertise in seawall code compliance, helping ensure the longevity and resilience of your waterfront property. Call us today for more information about how the current requirements apply to your property.
Minimum Elevation & the NAVD88 Datum
Across Broward County, new and reconstructed seawalls are measured against the NAVD88 (North American Vertical Datum of 1988) reference elevation rather than older tidal datums. Fort Lauderdale and other Broward municipalities set a minimum seawall crown (top-of-wall) elevation tied to NAVD88 to account for king tides and projected sea-level rise. Because the exact required elevation is updated periodically and can vary by municipality and waterway, we confirm the current figure for your specific address as part of every assessment — so your wall is built to the standard in force when you permit.
