<td><b><font color="#1B3259">COMPOSITE PILINGS BENEFITS</font></b>
<p>There is an ever increasing demand for marine pilings that exhibit more beneficial characteristics than are available with traditional materials, such as concrete piles. Lancaster Composite, Lancaster, PA has responded to this need with the introduction of the Composite Post 40 product line. Our composite pilings are produced from a combination or "composite" of strong
fiberglass tubing surrounding a solid concrete core. By combining traditional
materials with alternative materials like fiberglass and plastic, we've created
a superior product that meets standard performance demands better than
plastic pilings or other alternative composite pilings on the market.
<p>
Our composite pilings accomplish this with innovative design efficiency. Composite Post 40 uses advanced materials to build the most cost effective piling available for just about any application.
<p>
Where strength, energy absorption, durability, and a positive environmental impact are required, Composite Post 40 is the choice. Standard concrete pilings have proven to be ineffective under these rigorous conditions and
deteriorate much more rapidly.
<p><b><font color="#1B3259">COMPOSITE PILINGS CHARACTERISTICS</font></b>
<ul>
<li> Bending Moment capacity equal to steel pipe of the same diameter
<li> Axial Loading capacity three times that of a steel or prestressed concrete piles of the same diameter
<li> Combined loading/interaction curves available
<li> Good stiffness characteristics ( stiffer than wood, not quite as stiff as steel for piles of the same diameter)
<li> Excellent Energy Absorption for fender pile applications
<li> Roughened Surface available to create skin friction for additional load capacity or uplift resistance.
<li> Non-Conductive - Ideal for electromagnetically sensitive installations.
<li> Full Design Guide.

<td width=400><b><font color="#1B3259">CORROSION RESISTANCE</font></b>
<ul>
<li> Fiberglass shell provides an impervious barrier against corrosive agents. Much more corrosive resistant then stainless steel.
<li> 2-part marine grade coating provides superior UV protection in full sunlight, splash zone and total submersion in salt water
<li> Not subject to damage by marine boars and other biological attack
<li> Cannot rust, rot or spall.
<li> Impervious to anodic/cathodic corrosion.
</ul>

<td width=450><b><font color="#1B3259">HANDLING AND DRIVABILITY</font></b>
<ul>
<li> Use traditional pile driving equipment (diesel, air and drop hammers all work well)
<li> Easy cut off procedures with traditional abrasive blade saws. Drills easily with hand held hammer drills.
<li> Well tested and proven splices available.
<li> Handles and drives like a steel pipe pile. Good pile integrity, low tensile stresses.
<li> Excellent Quality Controls - FRP shell manufactured with ISO 9001 accreditation. All Piles manufactured in accordance with PCI Plant Certification Accreditation and PCI MNL116.

<td width=400><b><font color="#1B3259">ENVIRONMENTAL</font></b>
<ul>
<li> Positive environmental impact. Materials comply with all State, Local and Federal environmental regulations
<li> Contains no toxins that can leech into sensitive tidal waters such as CCA, creosote or heavy metal coatings.
<li> Withstands harsh climate extremes, both high and low temperatures. No effect from aggressive freeze/thaw cycles.
