FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long will a snapjacket last?
SnapJacket is constructed using UV protected PVC material. It’s extremely durable and is guaranteed to last at least 25 years.
Each Snap Jacket is determined by the size of the pylon of the structure. During our initial assessment, we measure the diameter of the pylons to find the SnapJacket that will fit. By picking a Snap Jacket that has about 1.5 inches of extra annular space around the jacket, the concrete can then fully encompass the pylon and ensure maximum strength.
Installation of a SnapJacket is typically fast and efficient. For most projects:
✅ 1 to 2 hours per piling — depending on size, condition, and site accessibility.
✅ No need to disassemble structures or use large barges — this saves significant time.
✅ Multiple pilings can often be jacketed in a single day.
The exact time may vary based on:
- The number of pilings being repaired
- Water depth and conditions
- Any site-specific challenges (like tight spaces or heavy marine growth)
Yes — the SnapJacket is an environmentally friendly solution for dock piling repair.
- No harmful chemicals — It seals off old, treated wood and prevents leaching of preservatives like creosote into the water.
- Reduces marine debris — By repairing rather than replacing pilings, there’s no need to remove and dispose of old wood.
- Minimizes disturbance — Installation avoids large barges or heavy equipment that can disrupt marine habitats.
- Long-lasting protection — Its durability means fewer repairs and replacements over time, reducing environmental impact.
