In this episode, we’ll take an in-depth look at QuakeWrap’s work on a critical slab repair project for a beloved oceanfront resort in Pine Knoll Shores, North Carolina. Nestled along the picturesque Crystal Coast, this historic lodge was damaged due to the harsh coastal environment, with corrosion compromising the integrity of its pre-stressed concrete hollow-core slabs.
Listeners will learn how QuakeWrap’s innovative SPiRe+ system was leveraged to address this challenge, providing a durable, long-lasting solution that not only restored the structural integrity of the building but also safeguarded it against future deterioration. We’ll explore the unique engineering considerations and construction techniques employed to overcome the obstacles posed by the seaside location, including the use of stay-in-place forms, strategic reinforcement, and protective measures against saltwater intrusion.
We’ll also discuss QuakeWrap’s work on a slab repair project for an industrial facility in St. Paul, Minnesota. By drawing these parallels, we’ll demonstrate the widespread applicability of QuakeWrap’s expertise in addressing concrete slab challenges, regardless of a building’s location or industry. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of the innovative solutions QuakeWrap provides for repairing and protecting corroded slabs, ensuring the longevity and safety of structures in diverse environments.

Welcome to the Marine Infrastructure Live podcast. On this podcast, you’ll learn how to improve your marina docks, sheet piles, columns, piles, and mooring cells from QuakeWrap’s CEO Prof Mo Ehsani, and Josh Ahumada. From repair projects to identifying and utilizing innovative solutions—you will understand what it takes to discover, manage, and successfully implement marine infrastructure repair and strengthening that drives long-term success. Through interviews, Q+A, and real-time projects we give you a sneak peek into the data-backed insights we are executing across the world.
In this episode of Marine Infrastructure Live, Mo Ehsani returns with an insightful discussion on one of the most underutilized yet impactful use cases of QuakeWrap’s PileMedic® system: single-layer FRP jackets used for pile protection.
Not every pile reinforcement project demands major structural upgrades. In many cases, engineers and facility managers are simply looking for a fast, reliable way to protect existing piles from future deterioration—without costly, disruptive welding or full-strengthening retrofits. That’s where the power of PileMedic® as a protective jacket shines.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
When and why to use single-layer FRP jackets for corrosion protection
How the installation process differs from load-bearing designs
What to consider when designing these jackets for longevity and environmental durability
