FROM THE WORK · NH DOCK REPAIR

An ice-out rebuild, ready for summer

Moving ice pushed this timber crib over. We handled the rebuild from start to finish and had the dock ready for the summer season.

The force of ice-out

As the lake breaks up, wind can put a great weight of ice in motion. This timber crib was pushed over and needed rebuilding.

The whole job

We took care of the rebuild from start to finish. The work ran from the supporting crib and fitted timbers through to the deck above—bringing the damaged section back into use.

Ready for the season

The goal was straightforward: a usable dock for summer. We saw the rebuild through so the owners could get back to enjoying their waterfront.
