Stone Breakwater | Xcel Energy

Roen Salvage Company constructed a 900 ft long breakwater consisting of over 55,000 tons of stone in Ashland, Wisconsin. Construction began in August 2015 and was completed just three months later, ahead of schedule, and well under budget. It is said to be the fastest built breakwater of this magnitude in Wisconsin's history. At the same time, the project was completed with no lost time accidents.

Steel Sheet Pile Seawall Construction | Hallett Dock Company

In 2013-14, Roen Salvage Company constructed 900 feet of new steel sheet pile dock wall at Hallett Dock #5 in front of an existing unstable timber wall with a concrete cap. The concrete cap was re-purposed as a wale for the new steel dockwall. This wale was tied back using earth anchors, and voids between the old and new wall were filled with concrete and new bollards were installed. The new sheet piles were pre-coated with anti-corrosive paint to avoid what happened to the existing sheet piles.

Steel Sheet Pile Seawall Corrosion Protection | Duluth Seaway Port Authority

In 2010, Roen Salvage Company rehabilitated 6,000 feet of severely corroded steel sheet pile wall for the Duluth Seaway Port Authority using Acotec's Humidur coating and DZI mobile cofferdam system.

Over 60,000 square feet of corroded sheet pile wall was cleaned and covered with pre-coated steel plates inside the mobile cofferdam. The voids between the protection plates and the existing piling were filled with stud-reinforced cement grout and sealed with marine epoxy grout.

The project was completed in 6 months, far ahead of schedule, with the port remaining fully operational throughout the project.
