🌊🚤 **The Foundation of a Strong Dock: Driving Pilings** 🚤🌊

At Schuiten Builders LLC, we believe that the key to a durable and reliable dock starts with a solid foundation. That's why driving pilings deep into the ground is a crucial step in our construction process.

🔨 **Why Pilings Matter:**

-**Stability: Pilings provide the necessary support to withstand the forces of waves, currents, and weather conditions.

-**Longevity: A well-driven piling ensures that your dock remains secure and functional for years to come.

**Safety: Properly installed pilings prevent shifting and sinking, keeping your dock safe for all your waterfront activities.

**High Quality Treatment: we use marine grade treated pilings! They are specifically designed to withstand being submerged in water. Standard treated dimensional 6x6 poles are not treated to the same level. Our pilings have a lifespan of 40-50yrs, whereas a standard dimensional 6x6 has a lifespan of 12-15yrs.

Our team of experts uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure each piling is driven to perfection. Trust Schuiten Builders to build a dock that stands the test of time.

🌊🛡️ Did you know that rip rap is a powerful tool in fighting erosion? 💪🌿 Rip rap helps stabilize shorelines and riverbanks. It absorbs the impact of waves and currents, reducing erosion and protecting the underlying soil. Not only does it prevent erosion, but it also provides habitat for aquatic life and enhances the natural beauty of water bodies. So next time you see rip rap along a shoreline, remember its important role in preserving our environment! 🌎🌱

Do you ever wonder what it looks like when our company installs rip rap? This was a quick refresh for a customer that had smaller rock originally. We came in with larger stone for a permanent fix!

We have all seen the waves created from the recreational boats on Watts Bar! They are detrimental to lake property owners, but we have the solution! Our rip rap is a “one and done” project that our customers rave about!

We can also help you get your permits!

Schuiten Builders LLC is extremely proud to welcome our newly commissioned tug boat the “Willie Clyde” into Tennessee! We started the process in August of 2021 and as of today, our newest addition is steaming down Watts Bar Lake!

The boat’s name (“Willie Clyde”) is special to our small family owned business. We chose the name after our owner Charles’ grandfather who not only raised him, but taught him about construction from an early age. The name is a tribute to the memory of a man that was special in so many ways. Willie Clyde was the worlds first nuclear reactor operator based out of Oak Ridge, Tn.

The memory of this tug boat will be passed down for generations to come! Our family also recently welcomed Charles Arthur Schuiten IV into the world. “Cade” is a beautiful 4 month old baby boy, and we are excited to know that one day he will get to know the history behind our company and this boat!

Congratulations to Savannah and Trey on the arrival of Cade, and congratulations Rebecca and Charles on the arrival of the “Willie Clyde” ❤️
