Maintenance & Repair Solutions

PileMedic™ is a patent-pending recently developed innovative product by QuakeWrap, Inc. president, Professor Mo Ehsani for repair, strengthening and encapsulation of steel, concrete and wood or timber piles.

Applications include bridges, buildings, industrial plants, utility poles, piers, underwater piles, timber piles used in railroad bridges, to name a few.

PILEMEDIC™

THE PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR PILE RESTORATION

1. Corrosion Damaged

2. Cut PileMedic™ to desired size and apply epoxy

3. Wrap PileMedic™ around column to create a shell of any shape

4. Use rachet straps to temporarily hold the shell’s shape

5. Fill annular space with non-shrink grout or low velocity resin

6. Remove ratchet straps and paint jacket (if desired)

• The only product approved by FEMA and the US Army Corps of Engineers

• 3-4 times stronger than steel• Fastest repair and strengthening system with no

traffic control• Increase axial capacity beyond original strength of

column• No weak seams along height offers uniform

confining pressure (360°)• Provides structural confinement• No costly divers for underwater repair• Does not corrode• No metallic parts• Grout or resin can be pressurized to penetrate all

cracks and crevices• Available in carbon or glass• Works well on concrete, steel and wood or timber

piles and columns• One size fits all piles (no delays for customized

jackets)

360° OF CONFINING PRESSURE

PILEMEDIC ADVANTAGES:PileMedic™ is the only pile jacket system on the market that provides all round (360 degree) confining pressure. This significantly increases the strength of the pile. The strength of a typical 4,000psi concrete pile will be raised to over 6,000psi once it is wrapped with PileMedic™

Before and After

2

• Maintenance free• Continuous or spot repair• One size fits all pipes that are 3 inch in diameter or

larger

• No traffic disruptions• Can be cut in field to any width or length for

easier handling• Versatile - wrap around any shape

• Join Repairs• Large Diameter Pipes• Small Diameter Pipes

• Pressure Pipes For Gas Industry• Slip-Lining Gravity Sewers and Culverts• Strengthening Existing Pipelines

APPLICATIONS:

StifPipe® is the latest patent-pending technology developed by QuakeWrap, INC. President, Professor Mo Ehsani for repair of deteriorate pipes, culverts and tunnels. This revolutionary product is a customized per-manufactured Carbon FRP pipe that can be delivered to the job site in any length for quick final assembly inside the pipe. StifPipe® can cut pipeline and tunnel repair costs to a fraction of that by conventional materials and techniques.

• Can be made of any size• Can be made to any shape• Manufactured off-site to reduce on-site repair time• Maximises capacity by fitting tightly against host

pipe• Pipe can be tested for strength before installation• Lower cost than other FRP liners

STIFPIPE ADVANTAGES:

3

Layers of carbon or glass fabric saturated with epoxy resin are applied inside the pipe to create a pressure vessel that can resist all or part of the internal pressure of the pipe. Suitable for both spot repairs and for repair of long pipeline segments. Provides watertight pipe rehabilitation for high pressure and pravity pipelines.
