Who we are
A marine contractor built for hard water
Pelagic Construction LLC is a Rhode Island general contractor focused exclusively on marine and coastal work. We own our pile driving equipment, run our own diving crews, and self-perform the trades that decide whether a waterfront job holds up — or washes out.
