THE ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER 99 New Method of Concreting Wooden Piles ANEW method of concreting wooden piles to reinforce and preserve themhas been devised by Mr. Henry W. Schlueter, a Los Angeles engineer,whose system is being used in the construction of the new sea wall atLong Beach. It frequently happens that in wooden piers a few scattered pilesare damaged by teredos or wakened by decay of the wood and it is necessary toreplace or strengthen them to save the structure. Replacing piles under suchconditions is expensive and often difficult. Mr. Schlueters method of reinforc-ing and preserving such piles obviates some of the difficulties of this work andmakes it possible to do. it at a small cost. He estimates the cost at about $ to$ per lin. foot of piling concreted, this figure being subject to slight fluctua-tions depending upon the character of the work and availability of materials.
