Waterfront Structures

The Tyfo® Fibrwrap® Systems are used on Waterfront Structures to either meet specified structural criteria or to provide environmental protection by:

  • Rehabilitating Corroded or Distressed Members
  • Performing Seismic Repairs of Structural Components
  • Using Pre-fabricated Systems for Underwater Applications
  • Controlling Corrosion and Protecting Elements from Aggressive Environments
  • Extending Service Life of Coastal, Riverfront and Oceanfront Structures

The Tyfo® Fibrwrap® Systems are installed in severely aggressive marine environments (e.g. ports, wharves, piers, jetties etc.), to prevent loss of strength due to corrosion and extend the life of the structure.

The Tyfo® Fibrwrap® Systems are designed to regain the capacity of corrosion damaged structures in and around waterways.

In addition to protecting structural elements and regaining their original strength, the Tyfo® Fibrwrap® Systems may also be designed to increase the original capacity for change-of-use retrofit projects.

The Tyfo® Fibrwrap® Systems, whether wet lay-up or pre-fabricated, are installed on circular, octagonal, rectangular and alternatively shaped cross sections.

The Tyfo® PR Jackets are pre-fabricated using the Tyfo® Fibrwrap® Systems, are thoroughly tested, accepted and installed all around the world. The Tyfo® PR Jackets are composted of:

  • Tyfo® SW-1 Epoxy: specially formulated NSF (ANSI) listed, two-component epoxy designated for partial or complete underwater cure.
  • Tyfo® PR Jackets: pre-fabricated Tyfo® Fibrwrap® Systems jackets that bond back onto themselves using Tyfo® SW-1 Epoxy.
  • Tyfo® PR Grouts: Fyfe Co. LLC offers both cementitious and epoxy based grout for the Tyfo® PR jacketing system.

Fyfe Co. also offers the Tyfo® CP (Cathodic Protection) System. The Tyfo® CP System is composed of:

  • Aluminum Mesh (sacrificial anode)
  • Conductive Mortar
  • Tyfo® SEH or SCH Materials
  • Tyfo® MC (monitoring cables) for Measuring Electric Potentials and Corrosion Rates.

The unique combination of Tyfo® Fibrwrap® Systems with sacrificial anodes provides corrosion mitigation, as well as, structural enhancement.
