Case Study: Timber Pile Restoration Under Concrete Dock
The largest agricultural port in the US has a concrete and timber dock with 500+ timber piles exhibiting extreme deterioration. The 12” timber piles had an average of 50% section loss with some piles completely detached. Those under the concrete cap could not have new piles driven. Pile heights ranged from 15’ to 30’. The goal of the project was to restore all piles to original capacity for both axial and bending capacity while the dock remained open.

Timber Pile Restoration Under Concrete Dock
The largest agricultural port in the US has a concrete and timber dock with 500+ timber piles exhibiting extreme deterioration. PileMedic was chosen to solve this problem. -
Repair of ASR-Contaminated Concrete Piles in Crocodile-Infested River
Queensland DTMR protects bridge piles from premature failure from corrosion with PileMedic, effectively repairing structures without interruption to service (or interruption from crocodiles). -
PORT OF SEATTLE
The Port of Seattle specified PileMedic to design and retrofit octagonal prestressed driven piles. The use of PileMedic increases the axial capacity and moment capacity of the concrete piles. Two layers of PileMedic PLG60.60 are installed around the perimeter of the retrofit region, creating a concrete annular space that is filled with QuakeBond UW grout. -
Strengthening Cell Phone Towers, Nationwide, USA
The cell phone tower depicted was strengthened by more than 180% than required at 15 feet (5m) and more than 275% than required at the base (where the likelihood of failing is the highest). Learn how PileMedic can reinforce cell phone tower capacity. -
PileMedic® Repairs Timber Truss Bridge Substructure, St Louis, MO
The river environment and the dry-wet cycles had resulted in damage to the piles of a truss bridge at the Valvoline river dock. A total of 18 timber piles on this project were encapsulated from a height of 5’ below grade to the pile cap in PileMedic®. Low viscosity resin was injected into the annular space between the pile and the jacket to fill all the voids in the timber pile and make up for the loss in compressive strength. -
Corrosion-Damaged Steel Poles, Tucson Electric Power, Tucson, AZ
The first application of PileMedic in an industrial setting was the repair of over seventy corroded steel poles in an electric substation for Tucson Electric Power (TEP). These poles were repaired in a very short time while the plant remained fully operational. -
Structurally Deficient Bridge Piers, Missouri DOT, St. Luis, MO
In one of the first applications of PileMedic, some 50 steel bridge piling were retrofitted. This project involved 4 overpasses in a busy interchange in St. Louis, MO. Click here to watch a video of this project. -
Repair of Termite Damaged Utility Poles, Wando, SC
Termite damage to British Petroleum's utility poles were extensive, leading to section loss up to 75%. Utility poles were strengthened with PileMedic® while the structure remained in service.
