Another specialty line for
American Timber and Steel
is our timber material for
Marine and Seawall
applications. Our experience
and knowledge have given us
the resources to offer you these fine
timber materials for such uses as Fender
Pole, Wales, Chocks, Bridge Fender Systems, Pier
Fendering, Structural Supports for Pier Docks,
Dolphin Clusters, Shoreline Stabilization, and
Guide Walls for Locks and Dams.
American Timber and Steel can meet any grade
requirement needed for your project, whether it is
a standard #2 grade or a
stronger grade up to
Dense Select Structural.
Our timbers can be
provided in Rough Sawn
or Smooth Four Sides finishes. We also offer Tongue
and Groove timbers so your seawall can be
interlocked.
We prefer the use of Southern Yellow Pine because
of its high strength and its ability to have the
treating chemicals penetrate deep inside for long
lasting protection. But we
can also produce your
timbers out of most other
wood species, if you
prefer.
We offer various levels of
treatment retentions to fulfill the needs
of your project. Usually these Sea Wall Timber
Products are treated with either CCA or ACQ. The
CCA treatment can be provided with treatments of
0.40 pounds per cubic foot (pcf), 0.60 pcf, or even
higher retentions for salt water applications, such
as 0.80 pcf, 1.0 pcf, and 2.5 pcf. If your project
requires a more environmentally friendly treatment,
we have our ACQ
treatment available
with retentions of 0.40
pcf and 0.60 pcf. Kiln
Drying After Treatment
(KDAT) is another option that can be utilized for
these projects. KDAT helps to stabilize the wood
and helps reduce the shrinkage of the timbers after
construction.
So, for all your Sea Wall or Marine Timber needs,
please contact our sales professionals today.
