Fleming Marine Construction Fleming Marine Construction has been building seawalls and retaining walls throughout Michigan since the early 1980s.

Every project is built for long-term strength and designed to withstand Michigan’s harsh weather and changing waterfront conditions.

How do you replace a seawall when equipment can’t reach the shoreline?

On the Intermediate River in Bellaire, Michigan, we’re replacing 150 feet of failing wood seawall with fieldstone shore protection. A steep hill means removing debris by hand and with a cable system, sending stone down a chute, and moving it into place with wheelbarrows.

It’s a good example of why shoreline access matters when planning a project, and how much work happens before you see the finished result.

Our crew has worked incredibly hard on this one, and we’re proud of their progress.

Every shoreline gives us different conditions to work with.

On this project, we’re able to use a water pump and jetting wand to help set the support posts for the new seawall. Ground conditions don’t always allow this method, so our crew adjusts the approach to fit the site.

This is one of the first steps in building the structure that will support the finished wall.

Progress at Indian River Beach Club.

Most of the tear-out is complete, and we’re finishing up the posts for the new seawall. Next comes the framing and tie-back system, followed by vinyl sheet piling, backfill, and a wood boardwalk on top.

There’s a lot that goes into a seawall before you see the finished shoreline. Here’s a look at where this project stands and what’s coming next.

Follow along as the work continues.

Planning a new seawall or shoreline project for next spring? October is a great time to get the conversation started.

Reaching out now gives us time to assess your property, put together an estimate, and work through the permitting process over the winter. Those steps can take months, so planning ahead matters.

Call Fleming Marine Construction to talk through your project and the next steps toward getting on our spring schedule.

The farther we got into this Secord Lake project, the tougher the access became.

This section sits at the very end of the canal and wraps tightly around the house. Once our equipment could no longer reach the work area, much of the seawall had to be built by hand.

Our crew also worked around a tree that was important to the homeowner. Keeping it wasn’t just about preserving something meaningful to the customer, it was also about reducing unnecessary impact on the surrounding environment and protecting the tree’s root system.

Some of the most important work on a marine construction project happens one detail at a time.

Our crews put in the hands-on work it takes to make sure each project is built the right way from the ground up.

A closer look at one of our projects on Secord Lake in Gladwin, Michigan.

This property needed a combination of fieldstone shore protection and a new wood seawall after the existing wall, deck, and boardwalk had reached the end of their life.

With the lake level currently down, our crew has been able to get in and rebuild the shoreline so it’s ready for the future.

A small erosion problem today can become a much bigger problem tomorrow.

We’re wrapping up phase one of a two-phase project on Budd Lake in Harrison, Michigan. The property was starting to see slope and erosion concerns that could eventually affect the deck and infrastructure around the home.

By installing new retaining walls now, we’re helping protect the property before those issues have a chance to get worse.

Good marine construction starts long before the finished project.

It takes planning, the right crew, and paying attention to the details on site to make sure the job is done right.

That’s the approach our team brings to every project.

A seawall project doesn’t always start with construction. Sometimes, the permit process alone can take 4–6 months depending on how long it takes EGLE to review and approve the project.

That’s where experience matters.

Fleming Marine Construction is familiar with the permitting process and knows how to help keep things moving, while making sure the project is done correctly for both the customer and the surrounding environment.
