Update: The PANYNJ Experience with Protecting Marine Timber Piles
Publication: Ports 2007: 30 Years of Sharing Ideas: 1977-2007
Abstract
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has been protecting timber piles in marine environments from marine borers with pile wraps since 1994. The success and failures of this effort will be reviewed. Modifications made to the protective systems based on lessons learned and existing QA/QC procedures will be presented. The latest test data and investigative methods employed for sheeting materials and banding materials for in-place piles and protective treatments for new timber will be introduced. A study on the rate of section loss will also be included.
