Abstract: Method and apparatus for making a dock or seawall. A forming float device, comprising a forming deck and ballasting means therebelow, floats in a body of water a selected distance from the shoreline. A first wall section is formed on the top surface of the forming deck, such that the first wall section rests horizontally on the surface of the deck, and comprises a plurality of wall pieces whereby the wall pieces are aligned and shaped appropriately to together provide a uniform wall. Each wall piece is fastened by fastening means to the top surface of the forming deck. Earth reinforcing strips are installed in each wall piece such that the earth reinforcing strips extend upwardly from the wall pieces generally perpendicular to the planes defined by the wall section and forming deck and the earth reinforcing strips are secured in that upward position. Alternatively, a bundle of cylindrical containers may be attached together and to the wall section. The forming float device is rotated 90.degree.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making a dock or sea wall whereby the wall comprises at least one sectional dock member, the dock member comprising a concrete base section and a concrete wall section perpendicular to and attached thereto. A forming float device is used to make each sectional dock member while the forming float device floats in a body of water (e.g. sea). Both the base and wall sections of the dock member are formed horizontally on the water, thereby simplifying the means of constructing and positioning the dock members. The forming float device provides a base section forming surface and a wall section forming surface perpendicular thereto. Rotation means are used to rotate the forming float device from a first position in which the base section is horizontally formed to a second position in which the wall section is also horizontally formed. Then the forming float device is rotated a third time to properly orient the dock member prior to positioning the dock member on the sea floor.
