At Creative Composites Group, we design and manufacture composite waterfront infrastructure products, such as camels, docks, sheet piles, pipe piles, fender systems and custom marine projects.
Traditional construction materials, such as concrete, steel and wood, come with unique challenges due to the harsh conditions experienced in marine environments. For example, traditional construction materials are constantly exposed to saltwater, UV sunlight, extreme weather conditions and even corrosive chemicals.
Due to this exposure, wood will decay, and steel will corrode. That’s why many industry professionals have turned to composites, which has excellent environmental durability and design flexibility. These qualities, among others, make it a more cost-efficient and long-lasting material choice for marine infrastructure.
Due to its many advantages, composites are becoming the top contender to replace aging wood, concrete and metal for marine infrastructure. Our structural FRP products combine the maximum environmental durability with design flexibility that non-composite products simply can’t match.
At Creative Composites Group, we can provide the following waterfront products:
Camels are designed to fit between vessels and the pier to protect both of them from accidental impact damage. Our camel offerings include ship-to-shore camels, floating log camels, submarine camels, and aircraft carrier camels.
Our FRP products are used for many docks, harbors, marinas, piers, and other similar waterfront systems. The material offers better short-term and long-term performance. LEARN MORE >>
These components are used for berthing and mooring marine vessels. They are available in three types: mooring dolphins, berthing dolphins, and breasting dolphins. One of our FiberPILE breasting dolphins can replace a whole timber cluster with no performance difference. LEARN MORE >>
Fender systems are engineered to protect waterway infrastructure, such as bridge piers and electric towers, by absorbing impact from barges, ships, and other waterway vessels. The fender components that can be made from FRP include pipe piles, wales, and dolphins. LEARN MORE >>
Guide walls also absorb impact from vessels. They help minimize vessel damage and passenger injury. Ones made with our FiberPILE products can bend and recover without breaking. LEARN MORE >>
These components are driven into the ground to ensure they transfer loads to a secure reaction location. Our FiberPILE and SUPERPILE pipe piles offer excellent sturdiness and durability. FiberPILEs are available in custom diameters ranging from 18 to 72 inches and wall thicknesses up to 2 inches. SUPERPILEs are available in smaller diameters of 10, 12, and 16 inches and wall thickness of 3/8 or 1/2 inch. LEARN MORE >>
Our sheet piles are a decay-proof alternative to traditional retaining walls. They offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance requirements. LEARN MORE >>
Ship separators are designed to maintain separation between vessels to protect them from impact damage. We can build them to almost any size. Typical ones are 40 feet, while custom ones can be as long as 80 feet. LEARN MORE >>
In addition to our standard products, our experts can deliver custom solutions for highly specialized waterfront applications. Examples of past projects include:
