RAPID REPAIR SYSTEMS
The innovative PileJax Systems provide cost effective solutions to pile degradation in wharf, bridge, pier, jetty and infrastructure assets. Used for timber, steel and concrete piles suffering from all types of degradation or corrosion.
The PileJax jacket is manufactured from high quality composite materials and is an integral component of the PileJax System. Superior performing grouts, resins or additives and strengthening products complete the PileJax System of pile repair.
The internationally patented rapid fit PileJax jackets also incorporate the innovative, patented Joinlox technology to enable fast installation and deliver a durable repair and long term protection at a significantly reduced installed cost.
PileJax Systems are suitable for all marine repair requiring medium-heavy duty repairs or corrosion protection.
• Rapid installation, reduced labour time = cost savings • Provides a cost-effective, long term barrier protection against water, oxygen, borers and other issues • Engineered design and rigorous testing to provide a proven system for all repairs and encapsulation • Manufactured from high quality filament wound fibre composite materials- no metallic components. • Can be used as a durable shield for lightly corroded and new piling systems • Small annulus for insertion of epoxy or grouts to provide a long-lasting corrosion protection in any hostile environment. • Light weight materials making handling in difficult conditions easier and safer • Full composite construction – no metallic components • No requirements for cathodic protection • Leave in place to provide protection against wave action, debris and human interference • Long life repair with reduced on going maintenance

30 South Wharf Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Port of Melbourne Corporation Port of Melbourne Corp, owner of the 30 South Wharf required the repair of 26 timber piles. PileJax encasement jackets were selected for rapid installation on the existing timber piles to provide a durable repair but with a minimum of disturbance to the vessel movements and tight project time frames.
The PileJax system was chosen by POMC to provide durable repair, tidal and marine growth protection along with effectiveness in extending the life expectancy of the entire 30 South Wharf.
Local diving company East West Divers prepared the piles then installed in a range of lengths, some 1.5m at the rear of the wharf area and as long as 7m.
Minimal handling by the local dive company assured costs were kept in control and without issues of delays. The PileJax systems and method also allowed the project to be completed well within the maintenance budget.
Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, Gold Coast City Council Joinlox® was engaged by the Gold Coast City Council to supply a number of PileJax™ encasement jackets for the rehabilitation of a Road Bridge located at the Gold Coast, Australia.
The contractor, Raw Worx prepared the piles by removing the marine growth, damaged concrete, repairing degraded steel ligature reinforcements, installing galvanic corrosion protection anodes before installing the PileJax™ GFRP system encasing the piles with UW Cementitious Grout and a strong, durable protective outer layer. Resulting in a complete system repair for long term protection.
The PileJax system was successfully installed. Each PileJax jacket section was installed and locked up within approximately 20 minutes, followed by single pump operation only for the full 7m height. Successful, on-time, on-budget project signoff by all Stakeholders, Engineers and Contractors. Hamelin Bay, Western Australia, Australia, Main Roads Western Australia Main Roads Western Australia selected PileJax encasement jackets for rehabilitation works for heavily deteriorated heritage listed timber piles located in Hamelin Bay, Australia.
Being a heritage-listed structure in a conservation area, critical to the selection was also the fact that the PileJax system provided fast installation with minimal disturbance and zero harm to the environment.
The PileJax system was successfully installed in several minutes per pile and pumped easily in one operation. The result is a long term, strengthening rehabilitation of the timber piles.

Port of Geelong, Victoria, Australia, Patrick Ports Corporation Joinlox® was engaged by Patrick Ports to supply a PileJax™ encasement jacket for a system trial on an octagonal concrete pile located at fuel terminal at Port of Geelong, Corio Bay, Geelong Australia.
The contractor, Marine and Civil Maintenance, prepared the piles by removing the marine growth by hand ready for installation. Due to the geometry of the pile, an octagonal clamp type bottom seal was chosen to be the most suitable and was successfully installed.
The PileJax system was successfully installed and deemed by the contractor to be fast and easy to install and found they could perform pile rehabilitation activities with lower skilled labour; reducing labour costs.
Port of Mackay, Queensland, Australia, North Queensland Bulk Ports Ltd
Owner-operator of the Port of Mackay, North Queensland Bulk Ports Ltd (NQBP) selected PileJax encasement jackets for installation on steel piles located at Port of Mackay, Australia.
The PileJax system was chosen to provide durable corrosion and marine growth protection and provide a side-by-side comparison to some of the piles on the wharf that have been fitted with conventional petrolatum wrap materials that have been susceptible to damage from marine growth (oysters), wave action and other issues.
The PileJax jacket sections were fully installed within 7 minutes per jacket, followed by 40 minutes total pump operation only for the full 8.7m heights delivering considerable savings in labour and site costs.
