The Wahoo Docks Fixed Dock System
Every pile you eliminate from a fixed dock project can reduce cost, installation time, and complexity. The Wahoo Docks Fixed Dock System is engineered to help waterfront builders do exactly that.
Built around a proprietary 9″ aluminum channel main frame, this system delivers exceptional span performance for residential, commercial, and marina applications. With pile spacing up to 21 feet on center at 50 psf live load, Wahoo’s fixed dock system helps simplify construction while maintaining the strength, durability, and long-term performance expected in demanding marine environments.
Longer Spans Mean Fewer Piles
Pile driving is one of the largest cost drivers in fixed dock construction.
Every additional pile adds material, labor, equipment time, and complexity to the project.
The Wahoo Docks Fixed Dock System is engineered to span longer distances than traditional fixed dock systems, helping reduce the number of piles required for many projects. Fewer piles can mean faster installation, cleaner layouts, and meaningful project savings.
Up to 21′ pile spacing on center at 50 psf live load…
Engineered for longer spans, fewer piles, and more efficient fixed dock construction.
Engineered for Strength in Demanding Marine Environments
At the center of the system is Wahoo’s proprietary 9″ channel main frame. The frame is precision-crafted from marine grade 6061-T6 aluminum and assembled with 316 stainless steel fasteners throughout.
This material combination provides strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability in waterfront environments where conventional materials can deteriorate over time.

High-Capacity Span Performance
The Wahoo Docks Fixed Dock System is built for projects where structural efficiency matters. At a live load of 50 psf with L/240 deflection, the system supports pile spacing up to 21 feet on center.
For heavier-duty applications, the system still achieves pile spacing up to 17 feet on center at 100 psf live load with L/240 deflection.
Span Capability
- 50 psf live load: up to 21′ pile spacing on center
- 100 psf live load: up to 17′ pile spacing on center
- Deflection: L/240
Built-In Utility Channels
Utility access is engineered into the system from the start. Wide-open utility channels run the length of the dock, making it easier to route critical services beneath the deck surface.
These channels accommodate pipes up to 8 inches in diameter, allowing for clean integration of water lines, fuel systems, electrical conduit, and other dock utilities.
Utility Applications
- Water lines
- Fuel systems
- Electrical conduit
- Marina services
- Other waterfront utility routing
Designed for Residential, Commercial, & Marina Projects
The Wahoo Docks Fixed Dock System is a strong fit for waterfront projects where span length, durability, and installation efficiency matter.
Recommended Applications
- Private fixed docks
- Residential waterfront projects
- Marina dock systems
- Commercial waterfront access
- Utility-supported dock layouts
- Projects where reducing pile count is a priority
Lower Complexity.
Long-Term Value.
A fixed dock system is more than a platform over water. It is a structural investment. Wahoo’s system is designed to reduce installation complexity while delivering reliable long-term performance.
By combining longer span capability, marine-grade aluminum construction, stainless steel fasteners, and integrated utility access, the Wahoo Docks Fixed Dock System gives owners, builders, and marina operators a more efficient way to build over water.
