Boston Marine Construction Attorneys

Any construction work done along the waterfront faces specific challenges. In these areas, it is often more difficult to evaluate the subsurface conditions. Miscalculations can cause massive delays and have great potential for construction defects. At the Sudbury law offices of Davagian & Associates, we provide clients with experienced marine construction law counsel.

Waterfront Construction

There are some construction companies that are devoted completely to the construction of waterfront projects. Whether, it is your company's sole practice or you have been called upon to work on a marine site, we can answer your questions regarding all types of marine construction, including:

• Wharfs
• Piers
• Port Facilities
• Bridges
• Dredging

John Davagian spent twenty-eight years as a contractor before opening his own construction law practice. In his time as vice president and president of the Sutton Corporation, he oversaw the construction of many marine and waterfront projects, so he understands your concerns.

Differing Subsurface Conditions

Most marine construction disputes arise from problems with subsurface conditions. The design for any construction is based on the subsurface conditions as reported by the geotechnical engineer. We can review and understand the soils reports and boring logs. If the actual subsurface conditions are different from the ones assumed in the design, we can help you protect your interests and the future of your project.

Jones Act Coverage

Does your marine construction project involve workers who are protected under the Jones Act or Longshoremen and Harbor Workers Act? When this is the case, we can help you develop a plan that protects your employees and your business.
