People often ask, “What makes OCC different?” After documenting construction at every level, from modular homes to highways, bridges, and even Foxwoods Casino, I can confidently say that OCC stands apart. Small team, big results, unmatched quality. That’s what sets them above the rest.

A great example is this recent project in Warwick, Rhode Island: a stone revetment seawall replacement. The property already had a wall, but it was failing due to poor construction by a previous contractor. Despite tons of stone, erosion continued rapidly. OCC understood exactly why and how to fix it.

Their process was meticulous. The team carefully dismantled the old structure in sections, excavating below the low tide mark to lay new foundation stones that prevent settling and sinking. The embankment was reshaped and lined with a durable geotextile fabric to stop soil and sand migration. A layer of riprap stone was added, followed by large interlocked boulders placed precisely by hand, not dumped. Each stone was shaped and fitted to create a tight, lasting structure. The project was finished with clean backfill and a loam cover for a natural, polished look.

This wasn’t a massive job for OCC, but like every project they take on, it mattered. Even in freezing winter temperatures, the team delivered with efficiency and care. The result is a seawall that’s as strong and functional as it is beautiful. Come summer, the property owner will enjoy the peace of mind that only true craftsmanship provides.

That is the OCC difference. Built right, built to last.
