Marine product history

1940
Timber
Used for thousands of years, timber needs to be protected with toxic chemicals to prevent decay and delay marine borer attack.

1900s
Concrete
Modern concrete piles are reinforced with pre-stressed steel that will corrode over time – causing the piles to crack and fail.

1800s
Steel
Unprotected steel is susceptible to corrosion in the marine environment. Typically painted, wrapped or sleeved with HDPE plastic, it also requires expensive maintenance.
