PileForm F fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) bridge and marine protection and rehabilitation jackets meet and exceed marine engineering specifications for use in hostile marine environments where exposure to ice, floating debris, chemical pollution, oils, acids, salt water, and tidal action may occur.
Five Star PileForm F is a fiberglass reinforced plastic jacket for protecting and rehabilitating timber, steel, and concrete piles in marine and waterfront environments. The lightweight FRP shell resists ice, debris, salt water, oils, and tidal action. Divers can place it as a stay-in-place form, then fill with High Flow Pile Jacket Epoxy Grout LPL-HF or a cementitious underwater grout.
