Scope Of Work
SITUATION
The wood pilings were beginning to fail. The owner had installed some new piles last year and they were already starting to deteriorate. Other repair methods were unsuccessful.
SOLUTION
The job was entirely over the water. Ram Jack had to work from a floating dock, during low tide setting all the brackets. The contractor cut access through the wood floor, and the piles were advanced from above. Piers were triple powder coated and hardware was all stainless steel. Piles were encased with 8 inch pvc and concrete. It took four days to install fifty 30-foot deep piles. Ram Jack used 2 7/8” diameter with six foot guide sleeves and 90 degree 12 inch by 12 inch custom seats and stainless hard- ware. The owner of the restaurant was impressed with being able to custom order brackets to fit the application.
CONCLUSION
Ram Jack North Carolina assisted with this project. Everything was stabi-lized as planned. The client has already ordered additional piles for another building onsite.
