ABSTRACT:
A device for preventing dock piling or structure piling uplift includes a tubular member concentrically disposed around the piling so as to form an annular space between the tubular member and the piling. A heating element is disposed within the tubular member and connected to a power source. The heating element prevents the water or ground within the annular space from freezing to a point where it adheres to the piling and shifts the same upward in response to changing tides or ground shifts in cold weather.
