ABSTRACT:
A device for protecting a pile from ice formations collecting on and subsequently extracting the pile as a result of a variation of tide level including a tapered guard member secured to the pile. The tapered guard member is firmly secured to the pile by horizontal stiffening rings and vertical fin members which also serve to prevent deformation of the guard member taper as a result of interaction with the ice formations. The guard member comprises a one piece jacket connected by a vertically extending joint or may comprise a series of tapered strips, a series of interconnected curved sections, or a series of interconnected rectangular ribs.
