ABSTRACT:
A two-part pile splice forming a pile protector and reinforcer and a method for reinforcing a deteriorated wood pile under a bridge wherein a first pile-protector and reinforcer-member having a flange is positioned on one side of a deteriorated wood pile with the flange located parallel to the flow of water under the bridge, and a second pile-protector and reinforcer-member with opposite flange is positioned on the opposite side of the wood pile with the flanges of the second pile protector and reinforcer spaced from and parallel to flow of water under the bridge. The pile protector and reinforcers are squeezed around the pilings to form a mechanical link thereto but not crash the wood piles and an epoxy which provides the compressive strength for the wood pile is filled into those areas in which the wood pile has voids.
