Custom Wave-Return Seawalls for Connecticut and Rhode Island Waterfront Properties
For more than 25 years, K.E. Braza Construction has worked along the Connecticut and Rhode Island shoreline. That experience is behind our wave-return seawalls, also known as wave walls. Each one is shaped with a curved profile designed to redirect wave run-up back toward the water and help protect the property behind it.
Seawalls are familiar ground for our team. We have repaired them at many locations, and wave-return construction is a natural extension of our seawall repair and construction services.

How a Wave-Return Seawall Helps Protect Your Waterfront Property
The curved profile is designed to help protect what sits behind the wall:
Waterfront lawns and landscaping
Patios and outdoor areas
The soil behind the wall
Custom Forming Capability
With K.E. Braza's custom forming system, we can create the curved shape of a wave wall for projects directly along the waterfront.
