Pile Jacketing & Wrapping
Structural Restoration & Life Extension for Timber, Steel, and Concrete Piles.
Preserve Your Marine Infrastructure
Structural integrity begins at the foundation. Whether you are managing a commercial pier or a residential dock, Eastern Marine Services provides specialized solutions to stop marine borer damage and restore load-bearing capacity without the massive expense of pile replacement.
Commercial FRP Jacketing
Structural Restoration with Epoxy Grout
For commercial terminals, bridges, and heavy-use piers, we utilize high-strength FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) Jackets. This is a permanent engineering solution designed to restore structural cross-sections.
- FRP Jackets: Non-corrosive, high-impact outer shells.
- Epoxy Grout: Specialized underwater resins that displace water and bond to the pile.
- Load Bearing: Restores original design strength to decayed timber or concrete.
- Commercial Grade: Ideal for Sussex County and Mid-Atlantic industrial waterfronts.
Residential Pile Wrapping
Preventative Protection for New & Old Piles
Pile wrapping is a cost-effective way to protect your waterfront investment. By creating an oxygen-free barrier, we stop wood-boring worms and parasites from destroying your pilings.
- New Piles: UV-protected PVC outer jackets prevent infestation before it starts.
- Older Piles: Concrete-filled PVC jackets restore strength to “necked” or damaged wood.
- Cost Effective: Typically 30-50% cheaper than full pile replacement.
- Warranty: FREE one-year service warranty included with all wraps.
