Does anyone have any information about pile sleeve used to protect piles when constructing the MSE wall? Who make it? What is it made out of? and what size is availabe? Thanks!
 
wwhiam,

Use a length of plastic pipe. I would imagine that a Hancor corrugated plastic pipe would be kosher, but I will let the construction-side experts (I've only been on the contractor side for about half a year now) throw in their 2 cents.

Usually its corrogated steel pipe sleeving. There are many manufacturers. The size depends on the size of the H pile.
 
Thank you guy! I found that CMP pipe is most popular method.
