Boat Docks, Lifts, Repairs, Dredging, Shoreline Stabilazation
Cumberland River Docks & Metal Works has a well-established reputation for completing projects on time, within budget, and standing by our contractual commitments. We work with municipalities, government agencies, and marinas to fulfill their individual needs. Our professional drug-free crew is experienced at providing quality services for commercial clients. We frequently sub-contract on larger commercial jobs.
Commercial Boat Docks
At Cumberland River Docks, we specialize in premium, well-crafted aluminum and galvanized steel commercial docks engineered to withstand the toughest environments in commercial applications. Our approach is to listen and advise, so your dock fits your needs and requirements while staying within your budget. Our team can evaluate whether your existing dock can be repaired or needs to be replaced, provide you with a comprehensive explanation of the project, and outline any risks associated with your options. We are proud to have our commercial marine structures available in aluminum, as we know it is the best material for the harsh marine environment.
Every dock system that we fabricate is designed and built to be a high-performance, long-lasting, cost-efficient solution specific to your project and location. Cumberland’s marine-grade aluminum design allows us to maximize design and efficiency on every structure we produce. Aluminum won’t crack like concrete, rust like steel, or rot like wood. Due to aluminum’s natural protective coating and corrosion resistance, maintenance budgets for the long life span of your dock are reduced, and in many cases, eliminated.
We will assist you in applying for all required permitting and filing processes with the Army Corp of Engineers, State of Tennessee, and TVA. At Cumberland River Docks, we pride ourselves on being the best in product design, quality, delivery, reliability, and customer service.
Commercial Dredging
Cumberland River Docks and Metal Works offers dredging for all of your shallow water needs. A deep, navigable waterway and mooring area are essential to maintain productivity and provide a safe boating experience. Mother Nature and the Army Corps of Engineers, however, sometimes make that tricky to achieve. The constantly changing water levels, wave action, and currents in waterways can cause these areas to fill up with sand and silt, making waterway access and maneuverability difficult to achieve. Dredging is a way to improve your ability to use your boat during these fluctuations, but it is not a guarantee that the water will not be lowered to an inoperable level. Our dredging process is a by-water process on floating barges. At Cumberland River Docks, we operate two separate floating barges. Our first barge has a mini excavator. The second barge has a roll-off container (dump bin).
We will not compromise your shoreline and it will look the same after we complete the process.
Dredging is a four-part process that includes loosening the material and bringing it to the surface, placing the material in the container, transportation to an approved dump site, and disposal. We abide by all Tennessee Water Quality Control Act of 1977 and Aquatic Resource Alteration Permit or 401 Water Quality requirements.
Commercial Shoreline Erosion Control & Rip Rap
Storms and waves, generated by Mother Nature, along with the growing number and size of vessels traveling along our waterways, can result in erosion of shorelines. Shoreline stabilization (rip rap) is used to stabilize slopes to prevent erosion and provide support. Rip rap is man-placed rock or other material used to armor shorelines, streambeds, pilings, and other shoreline structures against water erosion. Common rock types used include granite and limestone. It is a good practice and a requirement in many areas for proper stabilization to lay down a geotextile mesh fabric or small filter rock to prevent the soil from moving through the rip rap. We will also help shape the shoreline for maximum protection.

Recently, HydroHoist received national awards for the HydroPort Extreme, a revolutionary personal watercraft-docking platform that set the standard for ease of use and durability. HydroHoist’s industry-leading warranty is a testament to the quality of its people and products.

We offer boat lifts with a floating capacity from 4,400 to 32,000 pounds. Installation is by certified factory-trained technicians. Where there is limited water depth, we can provide other solutions including dredging services to accomplish lift protection for your boat.

“Our company has been building on lakes for years and has dealt with various docks on many lots. Working with Cumberland River Docks & Metal Works has been a pleasure and we can say without hesitation that the quality of the dock and service we received from Cumberland River Docks & Metal Works was excellent. I have and will continue to recommend Wahoo Docks and Cumberland River Docks and Metal Works when lake lot owners want a better-than-average quality dock. Cumberland River Docks and Metal Works delivered a community dock to our newly developed site on time and on budget. I can’t say enough good things about their service and Wahoo Dock quality. We highly recommend their company.”
