Innovative and Versatile
The FX-70® system features custom-made tongue-and-groove seamed fiberglass jackets that provide a
corrosion-resistant protective shell for the life of the repair. High-strength, water-insensitive repair grouts and
mortars are used to strengthen and protect damaged piles. These products displace existing water and can
be easily pumped, tremied or poured into the FX-70 jacket even while it is submerged in water.
The FX-70 system provides corrosion-resistant protection for the life of the repair.
