HarborPiles 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.
HarborPile are available in a wide range of diameters (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:
- Fendering: Tremendous ability to absorb the energy of vessel (lateral) impact through repeated recoverable deflection.
- Load bearing: Axial capacity of 70 kips (18” 0.75” wall)
- 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.
- Electrically and thermally insulating.
- Standard colors are black and grey, although can be produced in virtually any color.
- Smooth consistent surface, does not suffer from blotches and dimples.
