In this episode of Marine Infrastructure Live, Mo Ehsani returns with an insightful discussion on one of the most underutilized yet impactful use cases of QuakeWrap’s PileMedic® system: single-layer FRP jackets used for pile protection.
Not every pile reinforcement project demands major structural upgrades. In many cases, engineers and facility managers are simply looking for a fast, reliable way to protect existing piles from future deterioration—without costly, disruptive welding or full-strengthening retrofits. That’s where the power of PileMedic® as a protective jacket shines.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
When and why to use single-layer FRP jackets for corrosion protection
How the installation process differs from load-bearing designs
What to consider when designing these jackets for longevity and environmental durability
Real-world examples of pile protection
How a half-inch annular space filled with epoxy grout can make all the difference
This conversation is ideal for engineers, contractors, facility managers, and anyone working on infrastructure in corrosive marine or industrial environments.
