About

The Dock Stabilization System (DSS) was developed on Smith Lake, Alabama, in response to challenges faced by a dock owner situated in the deep waters of the lake’s main channel. Despite the dock’s high-quality construction by a reputable local builder, heavy boat traffic during the summer months subjected it to significant stress, resulting in damage to its heavy-gauge galvanized steel beams. Recognizing that the issue stemmed from excessive wave action rather than construction flaws, the owner devised an innovative solution to mitigate surface wave impact.

The DSS leverages the natural properties of water resistance and hydraulic drag to substantially reduce dock motion, minimizing rise and fall. This system enhances the durability of docks, extending their lifespan while improving user comfort and overall experience in high-traffic aquatic environments.

Applications:
Perfect for private marinas, recreational docks, or commercial waterfronts, the DSS adapts to your specific needs. Whether upgrading an existing structure or designing a new dock, this system ensures long-lasting performance and peace of mind.
