Abstract: A utility or marine pole comprises a honeycomb core having an outer surface and a rubber coating on substantially all of the outer surface of the core. The core has a length of from about 12 feet to about 30 feet and a circumference of from about 5 inches to about 15 inches. A bracket for a pole used for supporting wires, the bracket comprising a body being circular in horizontal cross section, means for adjusting the diameter of the body, and a lateral extension having a first end portion supported by the body and an opposed second end portion, wherein the second end portion has an opening for receiving a wire. A railroad crossing section comprising a honeycomb core has a circumferential outer surface and being rectangular in vertical cross section and a rubber coating on substantially all of the outer surface of the core.

Abstract: A seawall comprising a base with a top, a plurality of extensions on the top of the base, and an adhesive or sealant securing the extensions to the base. Each extension comprises a plurality of spaced apart rubber poles extending generally in a direction horizontal to the sea floor, and an outer rubber covering surrounding the poles. A method of increasing the height of a seawall comprising the steps of placing a plurality of the extensions on top of the seawall with the poles extending substantially parallel to the sea floor, and securing the extensions to the top of the seawall.
