camp sheathing
Isaac Kremer/ September 9, 2018/ / 0 comments
A construction of sheet piling or sometimes of horizontal planking spiked to guide piles, employed to enclose and confine the compressible soil under and adjoining a heavy structure. The term is also (in England) incorrectly applied to the stringpiece or cap sill of a wharf, properly called a camp shot. (Sturgis, 1900)
