Structural Steel Clamshell Welding for Pile Repair and Reinforcement

What We Do: Welding Clamshells

Prefabricated steel clamshell half-sections welded around damaged or corroded piles by certified underwater welders — restoring structural section and load capacity in situ without pile extraction.

What We Do

  • Pile damage survey — UT thickness measurement, visual inspection
  • Clamshell design and fabrication to pile diameter and damage extent
  • Surface preparation — mechanical cleaning to bare metal
  • Clamshell positioning and tack welding under SSBA
  • Full structural weld completion to WPQR — AWS D3.6M
  • Post-weld inspection — UT, MPI, or visual as specified
  • Photographic and weld inspection record for client handover

Why It Matters

Clamshell welding is the most structurally robust pile repair method available in situ. It restores full load capacity, avoids pile extraction and replacement, and can be completed in a fraction of the time and cost of conventional repair methods.
