This is a demonstration of how the patented PileMedic™ technology developed by Professor Mo Ehsani can be used to repair and strengthen concrete bridge piers that may get damaged in an earthquake. |

Repairing and strengthening large structures such as bridge pier walls, industrial chimneys, cooling towers, silos, etc. can present challenging construction issues. QuakeWrap速 now offers a unique, patent-pending technology developed by Prof. Mo Ehsani to quickly strengthen such structures using Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) pre-manufactured spacer sheets and field applied FRP fabric. |

The video shows how PileMedic ended a 15-year long search for a solution to repair these submerged piles in Australia. The piles were damaged by alkali silica reaction (ASR) and the river was infested with crocodiles, jelly fish and the like, requiring the crew to work inside a steel cage. |

Condominium in Miami, FL, where all deteriorated underwater piles were repaired with PileMedic™ glass laminates with no need for coffer dams. To read an article about this project published in Concrete Repair Bulletin,click here |
 |
Twenty deteriorated timber piles of varying sizes were repaired in this project in Port O'Connor, Texas. The video shows how long sections of a pile can be repaired without the need for divers. . |

Bridge piers along the Interstate-40 were damaged by corrosion. FRP Repair System was used to strengthen the columns without adding more than a quarter-inch in diameter to the piers. |
|
 |
Several rectangular bridge piers under a I-90 highway overpass suffered corrosion damage from water erosion. The main steel reinforcements were exposed and need a corrosion barrier. FRP fiberglass composite fabric was the solution.. |

 |
Corroded bridge piers supporting the Bay View Bridge in Fort Lauderdale, FL were repaired using carbon FRP technology combined with underwater curing resin. |

 |
Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers like this one in San Luis Obispo, CA can be repaired by applying QuakeWrap carbon fabric saturated with epoxy resin. The jacket strengthens the column and stops the flow of oxygen, bringing the corrosion rate to a near halt! |
