1976 Inspection of Experimental Marine Piling.

Abstract

The cooperative-treated piles Coco Solo, Canal Zone, and the cooperative-, CEL-, and CEL/Industry-treated piles at Pearl Harbor were inspected by a diver in March and April 1976. After 13 years at Coco Solo, only the Douglas fir piles treated with ammoniacal copper arsenite followed by cresote (dual treatment) are performing satisfactorily. At Pearl Harbor, the remaining cooperative-treated piles are performing satisfactorily as are many CEL-and CEL/INDUSTRY-treated piles. These piles were impregnated with either creosote containing a toxic additive, a selected single treatment, a solution containing two toxic compounds, or a dual treatment. (Author)
