Can Deteriorated Wood Pilings Be Repaired?
Yes. SnapJacket is designed to preserve, repair, and protect deteriorated marine wood pilings.
The UV-resistant vinyl jacket opens and locks around an existing piling. The space between the jacket and the wood piling is then filled with concrete, creating a solid repaired piling.
Because SnapJacket is installed around the existing piling, it can help avoid removing the original piling and rebuilding the supported structure.
