Fort Myers Beach Seawall Repair

Project Intro:

After Hurricane Ian the residents of Leonardo Arms on Fort Myers Beach found themselves in a dire situation with their seawall. Following the devastating storm that ripped through Southwest Florida (SWFL) in the fall of 2022 Florida Structural Group (FSG) has taken on many projects like this one as they work to rebuild the region.

The structural integrity of the buildings at Leonardo Arms was massively impacted by the storm, there was no way around building a new seawall as soon as possible. FSG, being a local SWFL business, was happy to take on the project so the residents can someday return to their home.

Once the engineering and permits were in place the Marine Construction Division of FSG took action. Soon enough they were building a new seawall to help protect this property for years to come.

Take a look at this project from behind the scenes in the videos below where we document this process. We are proud of our team and all their hard work and we thank you for stopping by to check out this seawall repair project on Fort Myers Beach!
