Jetties

The splash zone is without doubt one of the more aggressive environment at Jetty constructions for wood, concrete and/or steel. Here you have the movement of the water inducing wear on the structures, high level of oxygen inducing a perfect corrosive environment. In salt water chlorides are present all over but combined with good access of oxygen this zone is where the problem is.

In icy regions ice sliding by a structure will tear and wear the structure. WPE DiaGrout UHPC is here an ideal protection layer.

Splash zone protection is in general made on pillars standing in water, and is made by creating a mold around the pillar and cast the WPE DiaGout into the mold. When the WPE DiaGrout has set the mold can be removed. The service life can be calculated with correct application with more than 15 years.

In case of wood pillars, wood will usually rot over time, leading to insufficient load bearing capacity of the pillars. A mold can be placed around the pillar and a WPE DiaGrout pillar is created by casting. The service life can be calculated with correct application with more than 10 years.
