Wharf repair and pier maintenance in Mexico

Wharf repair, marine fender maintenance, underwater pile inspection and corrosion protection for wharves in service. One contractor for the deck and the submerged structure.

Maintenance for wharves in service

At Corporativo Costa Afuera (COCOA) we repair and maintain existing wharves and piers: deck slabs, fenders, piles, sheet piles and corrosion protection, with our own divers, cranes and equipment from Tuxpan, Veracruz, Mexico.

We have maintained the fenders at the APITUX wharf and rehabilitated the port infrastructure of the Paseo del Pescador in Acapulco. Below the waterline we work with our own commercial divers, and we protect steel with industrial marine coatings.
