Installation

Our Process

Using your existing infrastructure design and specification, Levare will map out, design, and engineer a custom pile repair system and installation sequence specific to your needs.  Damaged piles will be removed from service in a manner in which the surrounding pilings can carry the dead load of the damaged piles with respect to adjacent repairs. During the brief duration of the repair, live loads would not be allowed over the repaired piling.

An example sequence for a steel pipe pile repair:

• Remove the corrupted piling. 
• Pump Concrete in cutoff pile & insert the pile cap on the cut off piling. 
• Wait a day. 
• Insert the ballasted pipe spool piece with compressed elevating sleeve. 
• Elevate sleeve and mate the flanges. 
• Pump filler material into the elevating sleeve until all air, water and loose material has been expelled from the discharge hole near the top of the elevating sleeve.
• Stop pumping. Close discharge port. 
• Start pumping filler material into elevating sleeve until desired pressure reached. Close valve and stop pumping.
• Relieve pressure on pump side of valve with relief valve. Disconnect pump hose and continue to next pumping location.
