Treated Wood
Cox Industries has the ability to treat 2.5 # heavy
retention CCA material for marine use. We offer a
broad range of timber piling, as well as, many
dimensions of lumber and timbers. This material can
be used as support piling for docks/marinas,
bulkheads, and piers, turning dolphins, timber
cribbing and many other marine related applications.
Typical Applications
- Docks
- Bulkheads
- Groins, dolphins and marine piling
- Boathouses
- Dune crossovers
- Boardwalks
- Pole Homes
The Ideal Marine Material
Wood has been the marine construction material of choice ever since man
launched his first boat.
When exposed to the often severe buffeting of both wind and waves, the
flexibility of wood can yield superior resistance as compared to rigid
construction materials. In addition, wood can't rust, won't corrode, and
doesn't spall.
In the event structural damage does occur, wood can usually be repaired
in a more efficient and less costly way than other construction materials.
And repairs can be made in all kinds of weather, in both wet and dry
environments, often using nothing more complicated than ordinary carpentry
tools.
Furthermore, wood is a renewable resource with several environmental
advantages.
Destructive Marine Organisms
Without adequate preservative protection, wood is subject to destruction
from marine organisms such as Toredo (a shipworm that bores elaborate
tunnels within wood) and Limnoria (gribbles that attack the exterior surface
in a band around piling). Wolman preservative can prevent these organisms
from destroying wood.
Recommended Retention Levels
