Feasibility of Plastic Piling in the Marine Environment.

Abstract

Plastic pilings are economically feasible in specific problem areas where the longevity of standard wooden structures is short since plastic piles possess a potential energy adsorption in excess of 1000% of wood of comparable size. Such pilings are within the state-of-the-art provided existing material can withstand the marine environment. (Author-PL)
