HarborPile

HarborPiles are designed for fender or structural applications and offer tremendous durability in the harshest environments. They are strong, tough and durable and can be installed with standard equipment and do not require to be concrete filled.

HarborPile are supplied in a range of diameters (8” to 36”) with wall thicknesses from 0.125” to 1.5” and in any transportable length (110 ft longest to date). They can be tailored to meet a wide range of engineering properties.

Please contact us for a copy of our Technical Manual.

Benefits include:

• Fendering: When offered with a low EI they have tremendous ability to absorb the energy of vessel (lateral) impact through repeated recoverable deflection and less reaction force.
• HarborPiles offer excellent fatigue resistance and exhibit negligable loss in stiffness or strength when cycled through repeated lateral loading.
• Durable – Proven UV resistance, will not rot, decay, or eaten by borers.
• Environmentally safe – will not leach chemicals into the natural environment.
• Enormous design flexibility through “tailoring” of laminate, diameter and wall thickness.
• Excellent structural properties.
• Designed to be installed hollow – no requirement for concrete fill.
• Lightweight ~ thereby reducing freight cost & carbon footprint.
• Corrosion resistant.
• Load bearing: Axial capacity of 70 kips (18” 0.75” wall)
• Driven by traditional pile driving equipment but more efficiently than plastic/ FRP rebar piles.
• Cut and drilled with carbide bit tools
• Eliminates possibility of cracking as a result of thermal mis-match between plastic (HDPE) and FRP rebar.
• Electrically and thermally insulating.
• No magnetic signature
• Standard colors are black and grey, although can be produced in virtually any color.
• Smooth consistent surface, does not suffer from blotches and dimples.
