Deterioration and Repair of Timber and Concrete Pilings
Approximately 70% of those responding to an engineering survey of Florida's marinas identified the deterioration of pilings (both timber and concrete) as a major problem. It is quite possible, however, that the problem is more widespread than the survey indicated since the deterioration of pilings may go unnoticed until it has reached an advanced stage. This publication will provide guidance for following proper procedures where pilings are concerned. As a way of prolonging the lifetime of marine structures, whether during repair or replacement, or during initial construction, the marina operator should be sure to specify materials properly and insist on sound design and construction practices.
