Chapter One APPLICATIONS Figure 1-17 Fiberglass Forms and Jackets for Pylon Erosion Restoration [Downes] Seaward International The Seapile composite marine piling is a new piling for dock construction introduced by Seaward International, Inc. Made from recycled plastic and drawing upon technology especially developed for this application, the Seapile offers the dock designer and facilities manager an alternative to traditional creosoted timber piles (see Figure 1-18). The new pilings are impervious to marine borers, made from recycled materials, are recyclable, and are covered by a tough outer skin. Seapile is manufactured in a continuous process, so one-piece pilings can be made in virtually any length. The plastic compound is made of Duralin plastic, a matrix composed of 100% recycled resin and designed by Seaward chemists and engineers for its strength and ability to bond with the structural elements of the pile. It is also resistant to ultraviolet light, chipping and spalling and is impervious to marine borers. About 240 one-gallon milk jugs go into a linear foot of Seapile . The structural elements that help to form the piling can be either steel or fiberglass. When reinforced with fiberglass, the Seapile exhibits a nonmagnetic signature and is one hundred percent recyclable.
