Ports & Marine - Hychem Infrastructure

Harsh marine environments require durable, high-performance solutions to protect critical infrastructure from corrosion, weathering, and heavy-duty wear.

Hychem provides advanced structural repair and protection systems designed to enhance the longevity and resilience of marine structures, including piles, columns, utility poles, sheet piles, seawalls, and slope stabilisation projects.

Our specialized products reinforce assets against saltwater exposure, chemical attack, and mechanical stress, ensuring the reliability and safety of ports and marine facilities.

From structural reinforcement to ground stabilisation, Hychem delivers innovative solutions that help engineering consultants and clients maintain critical infrastructure in the world’s most demanding coastal and offshore environments.

Wharves, Piers & Jetties

We deliver engineered systems to fortify and extend the life of critical operational assets. Our solutions include advanced composite systems like PileMedic FRP jackets, which restore the structural capacity of deteriorating timber, concrete, and steel piles by providing an impermeable barrier against chloride attack and marine borers.

Our systems strengthen and ensure long-term durability of wharves, piers and jetties with minimal disruption to vital port operations.

Cassions, Sheet Piles & Seawalls

As the first line of coastal defence, cassions, sheet piles and seawalls demand absolute structural integrity. Hychem delivers specialised solutions like the SPiRe® composite system, a lightweight, non-invasive technology for repairing corroded steel sheet piles and reinforcing seawalls.
We also provide advanced geopolymer mortars for the structural re-profiling of concrete caissons, restoring integrity and providing a durable, corrosion-proof barrier in the most aggressive tidal zones.

Dams, Spillways & Canals

Our solutions are engineered to ensure water containment and protect critical water management infrastructure. We utilise advanced injection resins to seal active leaks in dam walls and stabilise foundations, while our high-strength, abrasion-resistant mortars and coatings are used to repair eroded spillway surfaces and canal linings.

These systems restore structural integrity and provide robust, long-term protection against future degradation.

Case Study

More than 100 piles repaired at critical Port River Rail bridge

Hychem delivered a revolutionary structural rehabilitation solution for the Port River Rail bridge in South Australia, restoring 144 deteriorating concrete piles without the need for demolition. Utilising the innovative PileMedic™ FRP system, the project provided a durable, corrosion-proof solution that met all engineering requirements and design life expectations in an environmentally sensitive marine sanctuary.
