QuakeWrap

What QuakeWrap does

QuakeWrap Inc. is a privately held specialty engineering and manufacturing company founded in 1994 by Professor Mo Ehsani in Tucson, Arizona. The company designs, manufactures, and installs Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) systems used to restore, strengthen, and rehabilitate deteriorated infrastructure including bridges, piles, seawalls, pipelines, storage tanks, dams, industrial structures, and historic buildings. Its portfolio spans 20+ patented technologies, including PileMedic for pile repair, SPiRe/SPiRe+ for sheet pile and seawall systems, StifPipe and InfinitPipe for pipeline rehabilitation, SuperLaminate for internal pipeline spot repair, ShearWrap/ShearClamp for load transfer, and ESeaWall for coastal protection. Products are backed by certifications including NSF-61, IAPMO/ICC AC125, AWWA C-305, and IAPMO R&T NSF-372, with wet layup and dry layup installation methods offered across the line.

QuakeWrap generates revenue through three primary streams: sale of proprietary FRP hardware products, custom fabrication of composite shells and pipe systems, and engineering services including evaluation, design, and sealed drawings for rehabilitation projects. Pricing is quote-based, project-scoped, and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts typical for major engagements. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise field sales targeting infrastructure owners, government agencies (US Navy, US Army, US Coast Guard, UN, state DOTs), ports, and industrial facilities, with international reach supported by US Department of Commerce export programs and recognized by the agency as a Model Exporter in 2017.

The company has completed 1,000+ projects in 27 countries, with research collaborations across University of Houston, Missouri S&T, Louisiana Tech, and USACE laboratories. It maintains a 101-250 employee base operating from its Tucson headquarters with no parent company, no institutional investor participation, and founder-owned control since inception.

Products and services

• PileMedic® Patented pile repair and strengthening system using FRP laminates that encase damaged timber, concrete, and steel piles. Restores full structural capacity even with 100% section loss and works underwater without cofferdams. For infrastructure owners, ports, transportation agencies, and marine facility operators.
• SPiRe+® Next-generation pultruded FRP panel system for seawall, bulkhead, and structural repair. Panels act as stay-in-place formwork, structural reinforcement, and corrosion protection barrier. For marine infrastructure owners, ports, and coastal facility operators.
• SPiRe® (Sheet Pile Repair) Composite sandwich panel system for repair of corroded steel sheet pile walls and bulkheads without full replacement. Uses FRP panel technology with T-shaped protruding elements acting as built-in reinforcing bars. For marine and waterfront infrastructure operators.
• StifPipe® Sandwich construction FRP pipe system for structural rehabilitation of deteriorated pipelines and culverts. Uses inner/outer FRP skins with a lightweight spacer core, weighing only 10-15% of conventional fiberglass pipes. For pipeline operators, utilities, and industrial facilities.
• InfinitPipe® Continuous FRP pipe manufactured on-site in virtually any diameter and length, eliminating transportation constraints and enabling trenchless pipeline rehabilitation. NSF-supported research with Louisiana Tech Trenchless Technology Center. For water and wastewater utilities and pipeline operators.
• SuperLaminate™ Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) segmental lining system installed internally using an inflatable packer for no-dig repair of water, wastewater, and oil/gas pipelines. Can be inserted through access points as small as 6 inches. IAPMO R&T NSF-372 certified for potable water. For pipeline and utility operators.
• ShearWrap™ & ShearClamp™ Patented prefabricated devices for load transfer in steel pile repairs without welding. ShearWrap is designed for circular piles; ShearClamp is for H-piles. Uses friction-based load transfer through high-strength bolts. For steel pile repair contractors and infrastructure owners.
• ESeaWall™ Advanced seawall repair system creating a new structural facing in front of existing seawalls without demolition. Provides corrosion protection and structural enhancement for concrete seawalls, steel sheet piles, and timber bulkheads. For coastal municipalities and waterfront property owners.
• Form-A-Tube® Custom-formed FRP shells for repair of piles and columns, manufactured using advanced resin infusion technologies. Enables bespoke geometries for specialized structural repair applications. For structural engineers and infrastructure repair contractors.
• PipeMedic® FRP repair system brand for pipelines, part of the QuakeWrap product family. Provides pipeline rehabilitation solutions through FRP composite materials. For pipeline operators and utility owners.
• Spacers & Grout Ports Precise spacing components that define annular space between existing pile and outer laminate, and secure reinforcing bars during FRP jacket installation. Used as accessories in pile repair projects. For FRP installation contractors.
• Engineering Services Evaluation, design, and detailing of repairs for damaged and deteriorated structural elements. Provides sealed engineering drawings and calculations for structural rehabilitation projects. For infrastructure owners, engineering firms, and government agencies.

Broad incumbents

• Sika AG: Sika's CarboDur® and SikaWrap® FRP strengthening systems compete directly with QuakeWrap's pile and structural wrap products. Sika is a global construction chemicals giant with far larger distribution, bringing resources and incumbency that QuakeWrap must out-specify against.
• Strongwell Corporation: Strongwell is a leading US pultruded FRP manufacturer with structural shapes, grating, and fabricated products used in the same infrastructure-rehabilitation use cases as QuakeWrap. Comparable FRP composite product portfolio aimed at civil/industrial markets.
• Owens Corning: Owens Corning is a major composites and building materials manufacturer producing glass fiber reinforcements used in FRP strengthening systems comparable to QuakeWrap's. While not a direct head-to-head competitor, Owens Corning operates in the same upstream/downstream composite ecosystem.
• Simpson Strong-Tie: Simpson Strong-Tie provides structural connectors, fasteners, and increasingly composite strengthening systems for infrastructure repair — a broad incumbent that intersects QuakeWrap's pile repair and structural rehabilitation categories.
• BASF Master Builders Solutions (MasterBrace): BASF's MasterBrade FRP strengthening systems compete with QuakeWrap's wet layup and dry layup composite strengthening portfolio. As a global chemicals conglomerate, BASF brings extensive specification influence and distribution QuakeWrap must compete against.

Direct peers

• Creative Pultrusions: Creative Pultrusions manufactures pultruded FRP structural profiles and panels (including sheet pile and seawall products) that overlap QuakeWrap's SPiRe+® panel and structural shape business. Both serve the civil infrastructure reinforcement market with composite pultrusion technology.
• Aegion Corporation: Aegion (including its Fyfe/FRP wrap systems acquired in 2014) is one of QuakeWrap's closest direct competitors, offering carbon-fiber wrap systems for pipeline and structural rehabilitation worldwide. Both companies compete head-to-head in FRP strengthening and trenchless pipeline renewal.
• Structural Technologies / STRUCTURAL Group: STRUCTURAL Group provides engineered repair and strengthening services for bridges, marine structures, and pipelines — directly overlapping QuakeWrap's service portfolio. Both firms engage in custom FRP design-build work for public infrastructure owners.
• Fyfe Co. (now part of Aegion): Fyfe pioneered the Tyfo® FRP wrap system in the 1980s–90s and is the historical direct competitor to QuakeWrap in column, beam, and pile strengthening. Comparable product offering and engineering service model for seismic retrofit and structural rehabilitation.

Emerging players

• Carbonweld / Composite Strengthening Systems: Carbonweld is a smaller specialist in carbon-fiber structural strengthening with overlapping use cases in concrete and pile rehabilitation. Comparable product technology at smaller scale than QuakeWrap, representing an emerging niche competitor in the same wedge.
