Form-A-Tube Pile Jackets: DIY Solution for Marine Piling Repair

Form-A-Tube® is an innovative, do-it-yourself solution for repairing marine pilings, utility poles, columns, and similar structures. Developed by Prof. Mo Ehsani, a renowned structural engineer and pioneer in composite structural repair technologies, Form-A-Tube offers a simple, effective alternative to expensive professional repairs.

 What Is Form-A-Tube?
Form-A-Tube is a modular, snap-together system of curved PVC panels that form a tube or jacket around damaged pilings or columns. These panels lock together easily, allowing homeowners or contractors to build a form to encase and repair a piling without removing or replacing it.

Once assembled and secured:
✅ The jacket is filled with grout, concrete, or epoxy.
✅ The material fills voids and restores structural integrity.
✅ The finished repair protects against marine pests, rot, and further damage.

 Key Features

  • DIY-Friendly – No heavy equipment, special tools, or barge needed.
  • Modular Design – Snap together as many panels as needed to fit the piling’s diameter.
  • Customizable Length – Panels can be stacked or trimmed to cover damage as needed.
  • Durable Materials – UV-resistant PVC designed to last decades in harsh marine environments.
  • Lightweight & Easy to Handle – One person can often assemble and install.

 Environmental Benefits

  • Repairs existing pilings rather than replacing them — reducing debris and habitat disruption.
  • Seals off creosote and other treatments from leaching into water.
  • Minimal disturbance to marine life — no barge or major dock teardown needed.
