Objective:
Answer the age old problem of pile corrosion and deterioration in the splash zone area.

Background:
The major problem has always been that after installing a new pile it immediately starts to deteriorate. This happens because of small scrapes and cracks in the previously applied coating which continues to increase in size do to the outside environmental attack up on the base metal to make the pile. Underwater coatings are only a temporary patch and over a short period of time they fail because of  impossible surface preparation and again environmental attack.

Pilecap Solution:
Pile wrap systems have always been used with some success. Eventually the outer sleeves that are designed to secure and protect the corrosion resistant tape fail. The tape is not designed to withstand the splash zone environment on its own it quickly goes away. It requires a tough permanent cover. This is where Perma-Pile^TM comes in.

Procedure:
Utilizing Pilecap's patented structural friction coupler technology, the Perma-Pile system is designed to protect the tape wrap in every environment. Perma-Pile is designed especially for protection against hydraulic activity, ice buildup, debris, and salt water. Pilecap's Perma-Pile technology uses a proprietary coating system to pre-coat quarter inch steel jackets that can be engineered for any size or shape including H-Piles. Prior to installation, Pile-Bond 690 epoxy sealing system is applied to seal the upper and lower ends of the corrosion control jacket, then all is assembled with stainless steel bolts, washers and nuts and torqued to designed specifications.

Results:
All permanent materials for a permanent fix.
