PileMedic™ PLG60.60

Product Description

PileMedic™ PLG60.60 is a high-strength Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) laminate constructed with bidirectional glass fabrics providing strength in both longitudinal and transverse directions. The laminate is wrapped around the column or pole and the overlapping portions are bonded together using QuakeBond™ 220UR (Universal Resin) or QuakeBond™ J201TC (Tack Coat) to create a strong shell around the existing structure.

PileMedic™ is unique in that it allows construction of a seamless structural shell around an existing column, utility pole or submerged pile. The annular space between PileMedic™ Jacket and the host pile can be filled with QuakeBond™ 320LV Low Viscosity epoxy resin or high-strength non-shrink grout.

Typical Applications

Repair of underwater piles
Repair of bridge piers
Repair and strengthening of corroded steel columns
Repair and strengthening of timber utility poles and bridge piling
Applicable to all materials: concrete, steel and timber

Features

One flat sheet can be used to construct a shell of any size in the field, eliminating the expense and delays of special order jackets.
The jacket provides significant lateral confining pressure (in the hoop direction) that increases the axial compressive capacity of the pile or column.
Provides flexural (bending) enhancement.
The seamless shell prevents migration of moisture and oxygen into the column, significantly reducing future rate of corrosion and deterioration.
Annular space can be adjusted in the field to minimize the volume of grout or resin.
Eliminates or reduces the need for costly divers in underwater pile repairs
Corrosion-resistant system can withstand various chemicals.
Non-toxic, odorless resins are approved for potable water.
Strength of the laminates can be verified prior to installation in the field (in contrast with wet layup FRP systems).
Laminates can be installed as single shells with overlapping joints along the column height or as a continuous spiral shell.
