Fiberglass & Coated Steel Seawall Bulkhead Construction |
Fiberglass Composite Hollow Marine Piling |

For marine seawalls, bulkheads, sheet piles and retaining walls, pultruded fiber reinforced polymer composite and coated steel seawall bulkhead retaining wall offer significant advantages over wood, concrete, aluminum and pvc/vinyl sheet pile systems. Lee Composites also markets a fiberglass composite marine piling system, called HarborPile designed for marinas, Dept. of Transportation bridge areas, Port Authority wharf areas and other commercial applications. Unique interlocking ball-and-socket corrugated design, composite fiberglass seawall is ideal for many marine applications, such as beaches, canals, causeways, docks, harbors, lakes, rivers, streams, residential developments and retention ponds. Fiberglass seawall construction and bulkhead construction retaining walls are attractive, ultraviolet and corrosion-resistant, high strength, and have long-term performance. Lee Composites supplied the first pultruded fiberglass interlocking seawall bulkhead retaining wall system on the market in 1993. This initial fiberglass seawall construction & bulkhead construction project is inspected annually for durability and performance. Over the past 10 years, Lee Composites has been the most innovative industry leader in driving the development of a complete fiberglass composite seawall system (seawall, cap, waler and tie rod/nut). Fiberglass seawall construction and bulkhead construction requires similar installation techniques as other types of corrugated seawalls/bulkheads. With over 30 years experience in the composite pultrusion industry, Lee Composites, Inc. has the technical and marketing experience to assist you with your design and cost analysis. Skyline Steel has been a producer of cold formed sheet piling since 1991. They have specified and supplied sheets for every possible use. If exceptional strength is needed for retaining soil or water, steel remains the strongest sheet piling material available. Steel's modulus contributes to a sheet pile's efficacy in the field. It improves its resistance to deflection, and allows for higher moment capacities. The X-treme Performance Coating system is custom engineered with a high quality epoxy anti-corrosive with abrasion resistance resulting in longer term design life in the most extreme conditions. This new innovative system is formulated with material grade epoxy, a proven product in the ship building industry. Their patented process is closely monitored to achieve maximum performance from the epoxy polymer and chemical bonding. Depending on your application needs, the X-treme Performance System is comprised of two material sections. Most popular for light duty seawalls and golf courses, the hat (ZPH) shapes have a shallow profile that offer a broad bearing surface area for attaching wales. The light weight design reduces freight cost and transportation issues with easier handling on the jobsite. For more demanding projects where heavier loads are in play, the Z (XPZ) profiles are ideal. The strength-to-weight ratios are among the most efficient in the market and the wide panels reduce material and labor cost. In addition, this section gives the robust performance that allows designers to consider cantilevered solutions where synthetics and other shoring products can't. Installing anchored walls requires excavation 10'-20' behind the wall; homeowners love the cantilever option because installation offers minimal disturbance to their property.

For piles used in structurally supporting piers, wharves, docks, jetties, breakwaters, boardwalks, as well as used as fender piles for the Navy piers and Dept of Transportation bridges. Both BarForce (plastic lumber with fiberglass bars) and FiberForce (plastic lumber with fiberglass fibers) are used as walers, chocks, blocks, and curbs in conjunction with our HarborPile fiberglass marine piling to make a "complete non wood/non metallic fender system". Hollow fiberglass composite piles (wall thicknesses from ¼" to 1") and one piece lengths of 60+ feet are easier to install and handle versus solid displacement piles. Fiberglass pultruded compression tubes, fiberglass and polyethylene top caps, and steel pile shoes are available. Also, an HDPE (high density polyethylene) outer sleeve is available for partial or entire coverage of the pile when extra abrasion and impact resistance is required.
