Central Indiana's reservoir shorelines — Geist and Morse north of Indianapolis, Lake Monroe near Bloomington, and the Lake Freeman and Lake Shafer impoundments at Monticello — anchor some of the region's densest waterfront housing. Each reservoir answers to a different owner and permitting regime, and we coordinate the right approval before a single panel goes in the water.
These are managed impoundments, not natural lakes, so the shoreline owner sets the rules. Citizens Energy Group controls the Geist and Morse shoreline; Lake Monroe is a federal reservoir; the Tippecanoe impoundments answer to their utility and conservancy districts. We build durable walls that satisfy each owner's standards.
Reservoir seawall cost depends as much on the owner's permitting process as on materials. Citizens Energy Group owns the Geist and Morse shoreline together with a 20-foot easement and requires a written application for any seawall, while Lake Monroe is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Louisville District) federal reservoir governed by a published Shoreline Management Plan.
Geist and Morse seawalls require an application to Citizens Energy Group, which owns the shoreline and a 20-foot easement and reserves the right to inspect the work. Lake Monroe is a federal reservoir administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District under a Shoreline Management Plan, and the Lake Freeman and Lake Shafer impoundments require utility and conservancy-district approval. Shore Protect Construction secures the correct authorization for each reservoir.
