New Breakwater at Stockton State Park made with VersaTech, Inc.’s Expanded Polystyrene
On May 8th, 2009 Stockton State Park was hit by a windstorm that swept across the entire
southern portion of Missouri and on in to other states. The windstorm wreaked havoc on
whatever it came in contact with; buildings, trees, cars and wave attenuators. The wave
attenuators, better known as breakwaters, at Stockton Lake suffered considerable
damage. Although the breakwater was constructed out of steel forms, it could not
withstand the pressures of the high winds. The steel buckled and broke under the strain.
Stockton State Park is now in the process of replacing the damaged breakwater with large
pieces of floating concrete. Neal’s Construction of Stockton, MO was awarded the bid for
general contractor of the project. The new wave attenuators are manufactured by Modular
Concrete Docks of Eldon, MO.
Modular Concrete Docks
encapsulates Versa-Tech, Inc’s
Expanded Polystyrene foam (similar
to Strofoam) with concrete to create
various applications of marine
concrete floatation structures.

The Stockton State Park project consists of a 600
foot section and a 400 foot section of breakwater.

Each attenuator measures 20’ long and weighs
40,000 pounds.
