ABSTRACT:
A pile wrapper closure assembly includes a pair of clamping bars each having a retaining groove with an undersized throat portal opening, and a pair of retaining rods. Each retaining rod secures one end of the pile wrapper in the retaining groove of its respective clamping bar so that the joining of the clamping bars stretches the pile wrapper elastically around a pile to prevent exposure of the pile to water and air. The pile wrapper has a porous pile-facing interior layer impregnated with a biocidal, corrosion-inhibiting gel. One or more compressible felt pads or strips are saturated with the gel and bonded to the interior layer and they are compressed to fill any void between the pile and the wrapper ends when these are clamped between the clamping bars.
