A shield is provided on top of a support column that protects liquid or debris from falling onto the support column from the structure above. Additionally, gaskets are provided around the center of the shield to contact components on top of the support column to further provide protection from liquid and debris. The shield is sloped and provides channels to guide liquid or debris and the outer most edge of the shield extends beyond the outer most surface of the support column in the radial direction whether the support column uses a cover or not. The shield may be in a rounded or quadrilateral form and is manufactured in segments to be connected upon installation using a clam shell type design. Mechanical connection schemes including a collar or fastener are provided to secure the shield segments in a connected state. |
