Effectiveness of Pile Wraps for Timber Bearing Piles
The Port Authority of NY and NJ has been using, cost-effective plastic wraps to encapsulate the timber piles that have section loss caused by marine borers. A monitoring program to determine the effectiveness of the wraps has been implemented. It involves testing for the level of dissolved Oxygen (DO) inside the wrapped piles. Results indicate that an effective pile wrap system can successfully cause the reduction of DO to levels that marine borers cannot survive.
