Dock & Marine Projects
Dolphin Cove Marina
Dolphin Cove Marina needed to repair the damage caused by Hurricane Ian in September 2022. Construction repairs included demolition of both concrete and timber piles. New timber piles were installed and ranged in lengths of 35’ to 65’. A total of 9,248 SF of new docks and tee heads were installed.
Clark Island Marina
Clark Island Marina is located along the Stono River and is part of the Ross Marine family. The addition of this marina was a project we were thrilled to be a part of.

As the General Contractor, Truluck Construction Dock & Marine had a hand in every detail of building this marina. Clearing, demolition of two existing buildings, and grading nearly 3.5 acres were all landside activities led by Truluck in preparation for the construction of two 50’ high dry stacks with 160 boat racks, new parking lot, and future development at Clark Island Marina.
In the water, Truluck Construction Dock & Marine partnered with S.J. Hamill to pour concrete piles. Beautiful, new floating docks were positioned and placed – all designed with easy, long approaches to help simplify the docking process.
Phase two of this construction is planned to begin in late 2023 and will conclude with a total of 300 boat racks on two 50’ high dry stacks.

Construction activities included removing the existing wooden bridge and supporting piles spanning Long Creek along the West Ashley Greenway. The wooden bridge was replaced by a 90’ prefabricated aluminum bridge.
A major CWS sanitary sewer pipe runs adjacent to the bridge and was supported by the original bridge. This project required precision and focus to ensure work was handled carefully, not to disturb the pipe while demolition and construction activities took place.
Residential Dock in West Ashley
Located in West Ashley, a dock was the first priority for this family who plans to build a home soon. This gorgeous residential dock has a 4’ x 82’ boardwalk with wooden handrails that lead down to a 12.5’ x 12.5’ covered fixed pierhead.

There is a 40’ x 3’ catwalk and also an aluminum gangway leading down to an 8’ x 17’ floater. An 8K ShoreStation boat lift was installed.
Piles on this project ranged from 8” x 16’ to 12” x 35’. Installation of a 76’ long 3/8” steel sheetpile wall consisting of 10’ sheets with a 3” wood cap was also constructed to protect the sea wall from erosion.

The work of this contract consisted of removing undersized existing culverts and replacing them with larger pipes of the right size and right elevation. The ditches that carry the water to the culverts were cleaned to the right size and elevation, as well. A section of Battery Creek Road was raised to provide enough cover for the larger pipe crossings. To provide protection from high tides and storm surges, flap gates were installed on the downside of the pipes underneath the Spanish Moss Trail, which created a natural detention area between the trail and Battery Creek Rd. A sheet pile wall, over 50,000 LF long and driven to depths of 32’, was installed within the old railroad bed to provide for added strength and reinforcement. This entire sheet pile wall was finished with a concrete sheet pile cap. There were over 8,000 LF of pipes installed ranging from 15” pipe to 60” pipe. Milling and paving of the neighborhood roads completed this project.
A timber boardwalk, 10’ wide and 30’ long, was constructed at the neighborhood’s “Duck Pond” once the new drainage pipes were installed.
Osprey Point Pond Fence along Kiawah Trail
To protect residents from getting too close to a known alligator habitat, Truluck installed a fence along the trail at the Osprey Point Pond. This fence was designed to be both aesthetically pleasing, fitting the “natural look” at Kiawah, and also to create a strong barrier, deterring curious guests from getting too close to the alligators.
This fence was 70 LF and built out of 6×6 timber posts and hog wire. There was a 2×6 two-piece timber cap and also a 2×6 timber bottom rail. The 6×6 square piles were vibratory driven into the edge of the pond.
Morrison Court Drainage Improvement
Located in the Town of McClellanville, this project for Charleston County involved the replacement of an undersized 36” CMP culvert with a new 6’x4’ box culvert at Morrison Court.
The work for this project included culvert removal, box culvert, and headwall installation, channel improvements and riprap stabilization, asphalt milling and replacement, grading, and erosion control.
Charleston Crab House
This project included pile jacket installation and the removal of the old floating dock system. The old system was replaced with a 55’ x 10’ new floating dock and included the addition of a new aluminum ramp connecting the new floater to the main dock.
