ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process and apparatus for creating a controlled environment about a portion of a submerged pile to be treated comprising a jacket fitted about the pile and sealed at both the top and bottom ends relative to the pile to provide a sealed encapsulated space. The jacket includes at least two sections having arcuate cross sections that are fastened together to provide a substantially cylindrical jacket. Compressed air is forced downward into the encapsulated space through one or more upper valves and encapsulated water is forced out through one or more lower valves. Further air flow dries the encapsulated space. Desired coatings, for example, rust inhibitor or epoxies, are introduced into the encapsulated space through the lower valve and the displaced air, excess coatings and chemical by-products are vented and recovered for disposal through the upper valve. The temperature inside the encapsulated space is also controlled.
