Restore Damaged Piles without replacement
Repair timber, concrete, or steel piles quickly and cost-effectively with PileMedic® FRP jackets—installed even underwater with minimal disruption.
Why Piles Fail
Piles are constantly exposed to harsh environments:
- Marine borers destroy timber piles
- Corrosion weakens steel piles
- Chlorides cause concrete spalling and rebar loss
- Impact and aging reduce load capacity
The Challenge
Traditional repair methods:
- Require cofferdams or dewatering
- Are labor-intensive and slow
- Often require full pile replacement
- Provide little or no confinement
PileMedic®: A Smarter Way to Repair Piles
PileMedic® is a patented system that:
- Encases damaged piles with high-strength FRP laminates
- Restores structural capacity—even with severe deterioration
- Creates a permanent corrosion barrier
✔ Works on:
- Timber piles
- Concrete piles
- Steel piles
✔ Suitable for:
- Marine environments
- Bridges and piers
- Industrial facilities
Simple, Proven Installation Process
- Surface Preparation
Remove loose debris and marine growth - Install Spacers
Plastic spacers define the annular gap and hold rebar - Place Reinforcement (if needed)
Add vertical rebars for structural upgrade - Wrap with FRP Laminates
Pre-manufactured laminates are wrapped around the pile - Secure with Banding System
Nylon bands hold the system in place - Seal the Jacket
Ends are sealed to prevent leakage - Grout the Annulus
Pump grout to create a solid structural section
