Dock Repairs
Surge Protectors
Surge protectors play a crucial role in fortifying docks against storm surges. These devices, consisting of round collars made of durable HDPE, are bolted securely atop HDPE pipe sleeves covering the existing piles. In conjunction with HDPE Pile guides they prevent floating docks from dislodging during severe storms by providing a telescopic effect with the pile and sleeve, nearly doubling the height of the pile during a surge event. Another benefit to the HDPE pile guides and sleeves is the “quieting” effect eliminating the clanging often heard with docks using metal pile guides. By maintaining stability and structural integrity, surge protectors minimize the risk of damage, ensuring the safety of your docks in hurricane season.
Inteplast Docks
Inteplast offers exceptional hurricane protection with its innovative dock decking features. With the ability to span 24”, it provides robust coverage, enhanced by its reversible design featuring Teak and Cedar woodgrain finishes. Its outstanding performance, durability, and lighter weight compared to composites make it a superior choice. Additionally, its resistance to moisture and superior color retention render it ideal for rainy, coastal areas, and regions with intense sun exposure, ensuring reliable protection against hurricanes and adverse weather conditions.
Drywall Alternatives
When repairing structures after a hurricane, performance plastic drywall alternatives offer a durable and reliable solution for enhancing resilience against future storms. These materials, such as polycarbonate panels, HDPE sheets, FPVC, or FRP panels, are lightweight yet exceptionally strong, making them resistant to impact, moisture, and mold growth. Unlike traditional drywall, these alternatives do not easily absorb water, which helps prevent damage in the event of flooding or high humidity. Additionally, their ease of installation and low maintenance requirements make them ideal for hurricane-prone areas, providing a long-lasting solution that protects homes and buildings while reducing repair costs over time.
