ABSTRACT A method and apparatus for making a dock or sea wall whereby the wall comprises at least one sectional dock member, the dock member comprising a concrete base section and a concrete wall section perpendicular to and attached thereto. A forming float device is used to make each sectional dock member while the forming float device floats in a body of water (e.g. sea). Both the base and wall sections of the dock member are formed horizontally on the water, thereby simplifying the means of constructing and positioning the dock members. The forming float device provides a base section forming surface and a wall section forming surface perpendicular thereto. Rotation means are used to rotate the forming float device from a first position in which the base section is horizontally formed to a second position in which the wall section is also horizontally formed. Then the forming float device is rotated a third time to properly orient the dock member prior to positioning the dock member on the sea floor. Ballasting of the forming float device may be used to stabilize the device and position the dock member on the sea floor. A stabilizer float device connected to the forming float device may also be used to control the rotation of and stabilize the forming float.
