At Borden Light Marine Contracting, Inc., marine construction is more than just our work—it’s our passion. Based in Southeastern Massachusetts, we’ve spent years building a solid reputation as a trusted marine contractor with the tools, knowledge, and experience to get the job done right, no matter how complex the project.

Our Capabilities

We offer a wide range of services designed to meet the needs of residential, commercial, and municipal clients. Here’s a look at what we do:

• Dock and Pier Construction: Whether you need a private dock or a full-scale commercial pier, we design and build strong, lasting structures that are tailored to your location and use.

• Seawalls and Bulkheads: Protecting your shoreline is critical, and we specialize in constructing seawalls and bulkheads that stand up to the elements and provide long-term erosion control.

• Pile Driving and Foundations: We bring the equipment and expertise needed to drive pilings deep and true, laying a solid foundation for everything from marinas to bridges.

• Barge and Crane Work: Our fleet of barges and cranes allows us to take on heavy-duty marine construction projects safely and efficiently, even in tight or challenging spaces.
