Abstract:

The present sheath for a water-eroded wood piling is a longitudinally split, flexible and resilient plastic casing with overlapping circumferential end segments. The casing has a preformed, integral spout at its upper end into which wet concrete can be poured to fill the casing around the eroded section of the piling. Flexible bands clamp the casing tightly around the piling, and the spout has aligned openings in its opposite sides for passing the uppermost one of these bands. The casing may comprise two or more longitudinal sections in overlapped sealed engagement with each other end-to-end for enclosing a long eroded section of the piling.
