Abstract:

The cooperative-treated piles at Coco Solo, Canal Zone, and the cooperative-CEL-, and CELIndustry-treated piles at Pearl Harbor were inspected by a diver in March and April 1975. After 12 years at Coco Solo, only the dual-treated piles are performing satisfactorily. At Pearl Harbor, the remaining cooperative-treated piles are performing satisfactorily as are many Cel-and CELindustry-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
