HEAVY MARINE & FOUNDATIONS

The Heavy Marine & Foundations, Bahamas, Ltd. (HMF) was formed in 1997 by its president Dwayne Pratt to provide auger piles and marina construction services throughout the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. One of HMF’s notable achievements has been to forge a relationship with Shoreline Foundations Inc. that together represents over100 years of experience in the construction industry. 

To date, Shoreline has provided extensive consultancy and training to HMF in the auger pile and marina installations and when necessary has partnered with HMF to complete large projects. The Heavy Marine Foundations partnership team is capable of creating structures, utilizing traditional construction methodologies as well as implementing the latest in construction technology for; super structures, residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings.
