Stone Revetments, Jetties & Groins

Revetments, jetties and groins control the movement of water and sand, and are critical in preventing coastal erosion. Beacon Marine and its predecessors have built dozens of protective structures throughout Southeastern Massachusetts, including stonework that can be seen protecting the bluffs in New Seabury and Buzzards Bay. For protective projects of any size and scope, contact us today for more information and a quote.

Featured Work

Stone Revetment Reconstruction, Stair Access & Beach Nourishment
This project was a total beachfront restoration for a private club in Osterville that consisted of repairs to the existing stone revetment, groin repairs, beach nourishment, and a new access ramp. Large sections of the stone revetment were completely disassembled and reconstructed with suitable sized stone. Six existing stone groins were completely disassembled and reconstructed. The whole beach area was fortified with a large quantity of beach nourishment to fill between each stone groin and in front of the stone revetment. Lastly, a new timber access ramp was constructed to access the beach with heavy equipment for future maintenance. 
Our construction crews worked hard on this first project on Martha's Vineyard building a stone revetment in Tisbury. This was a great new challenge for Beacon Marine and as always, the crew delivered another top-quality project. A lot of behind-the-scenes work goes into these island projects. All of the materials and equipment had to be shipped from New Bedford to the Vineyard by tug and barge and the crew traveled to and from the island every day by ferry, planning their work schedules around the tides and weather.
This project encompassed a 180' of stone revetment reconstruction, a new timber staircase with IPE treads and handrails, upland landscape filling and regrading, stone transitioning details at a public access easement to the beach and armoring in front of a concrete seawall.
