When it comes to marine construction, piling is the structural foundation that supports everything above the waterline.
At Polaris Marine Group, piling is a core service we deliver with precision, safety, and long-term performance in mind.
Whether you’re building a new jetty, wharf, or waterfront development, high-quality piling is essential to ensuring your structure stands strong against the forces of tides, currents, and time.
The Role of Piling in Marine Construction
Piling serves as the foundation system for marine infrastructure. These long, strong columns—usually made of steel, timber, or concrete—are driven deep into the seabed to support structures such as piers, bridges, ferry terminals, and marinas. In many cases, piling is the first and most important step in construction, ensuring everything built on top is stable and safe.
In marine environments, piles must contend with saltwater corrosion, wave action, and constantly shifting sediment. That’s why it’s vital to select the right type of pile and installation technique based on the specific location, soil conditions, and usage demands. Polaris Marine Group works closely with clients and project engineers to determine the best method for every job, whether it’s end-bearing piles, friction piles, or a combination of both.
Our Piling Capabilities
Polaris Marine Group has the equipment and expertise to deliver piling projects in both sheltered harbours and exposed coastal areas. We operate a fleet of marine plant, including spud barges, crane barges, and jack-up platforms, allowing us to safely and efficiently conduct piling in a wide range of environments. Our experienced crews are trained in all major installation methods, including impact hammering, vibratory driving, and drilling where required.
Every piling project we undertake is planned in detail to ensure minimal disruption to surrounding water traffic and ecosystems. We manage logistics, materials, and environmental controls in-house, giving clients peace of mind that the job will be completed responsibly and to a high standard.
Applications Across Marine Infrastructure
Polaris Marine Group has delivered piling works for a variety of clients across commercial, government, and private sectors.
From ferry terminal upgrades and wharf refurbishments to completely new marina developments, we provide the foundational works that allow marine infrastructure to perform for decades.
We also support temporary piling needs for construction access platforms and staging points for larger civil projects.
End-to-End Project Support
As a full-service marine contractor, we can integrate piling into larger Design & Construct packages or deliver it as a standalone service. We also support clients through the permitting and approvals process, ensuring all compliance requirements are met and that work proceeds without delay.
Our in-house engineering and project management teams collaborate closely with stakeholders to keep every project aligned with timelines and budgets.
