For Today’s Marine Environments
We are the first choice among owners, contractors and engineers.
Our boarding and cargo docks contemplate safe, efficient transfer of passengers and cargo, as well as longest life possible.
We design both commercial and recreational boat harbors for durability and longevity, user safety, and low maintenance.
Using extreme design flexibility we can address the unique challenges of each location to protect your infrastructure.
Many of our projects have utilized galvanized steel-bar decking, molded and pultruded fiberglass (FRP) decking.
Our projects are built to withstand the harshest environments, these are some examples of our systems put to the test.
“Without exception, I will contract with and recommend TRANSPAC MARINAS to anyone needing an exceptional contractor that is honest to a fault, focused and committed to exceptional workmanship and service.”
