If you are considering composite pilings for your project you must take into account the long term cost analysis and savings such a product provides over traditional wood alternatives.
Just as important a consideration as the economic considerations are the environmental considerations. Composite pilings are inert, do not rot, will not rust; they are not corrosive to fasteners and they do not leach toxic chemicals into the sensitive marine environment. The use of composite marine pilings precludes the need to harvest old growth forest and the massive carbon footprint that is made in the production of comparable wood products.
Composite Pilings 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.
Composite Pilings are available in a wide range of diameter (8 to 36) and wall thicknesses (0.125 to 1.5) and in any transportable length (103 ft longest to date) and can be tailored to meet an infinite range of engineering properties.
Benefits include:
Tremendous ability to absorb the energy of vessel (lateral) impact through repeated recoverable deflection
Durable Proven UV resistance, will not rot, decay, or eaten by borers.
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
Environmentally safe will not leach chemicals into the natural environment
Corrosion resistant
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.

Driving Composite Pilings
Composite Pilings are driven using industry standard driving equipment. Diesel, vibratory and drop-end hammers can be used to install the composite piling.
The piling can be driven either open ended or with a variety of driving shoes.
A standard pipe pile driving helmet can be supplied upon request.
The piles are easily cut, drilled and attached using ordinary tools found at most job sites.
