pier construction Vancouver

Custom piers and docks, designed for commercial, residential, or recreational use, delivered with precision and care.

At Blue Water Systems, we build docks and piers that are made to last. Whether you need a private dock for your property, a floating system for a commercial site, or a custom pier along your shoreline, we’ll build it to fit your needs and your budget. We’ve been building marine structures across BC for over 35 years.

Types of Docks and Piers We Build

Every project is tailored to your site. Here’s what we offer:

Floating Docks

Floating docks are perfect for areas with tides or changing water levels. We build these using aluminum, steel, or concrete float systems. They’re stable, easy to adjust, and ideal for lakefronts, marinas, and private boat slips. In recent years, we’ve focused on concrete docks and breakwaters, but we still offer timber, steel, and aluminum options.

Fixed & Pile Supported Docks and Piers

If you need a heavy duty or high traffic dock or pier, a pile supported system is the way to go. These are anchored to the seabed or lakebed and hold steady in all conditions. Our pier construction team has experience with marine grade piling systems built to last.

Modular Dock Systems

Looking for something you can expand later? Modular docks are flexible, easy to install, and simple to move or reconfigure. These are popular for both dock and pier installations in remote or changing environments.

Residential & Private Docks and Piers

We build docks and piers for homes, cabins, and waterfront retreats. Whether you want to launch a boat, fish off the edge, or just relax, we can design a setup that works for you.

Materials & Features

You can choose the materials and features that fit your goals and site:

  • Aluminum, wood, concrete, or composite decking
  • Gangways and ramps
  • Safety railings and ladders
  • Lighting and cleats

We’ll help you choose the right combination for looks, safety, and durability.
