bridge repair
(OP)
I am repairing some wooden bridge pilings. I plan to slip a 12 inch diameter pipe over each of the 10 inch diameter wooden pilings. I would then like to fill the void between the wood and the steel with concrete, however, I have been told the concrete is corrosive and will damage the wood over time. I am looking for a material that I can use to fill this void that will cure underwater. any suggestions?





RE: bridge repair
There are epoxies that can be used for such composite repairs, however, you should reduce the void space between the casing and the pile to as small as practicable to lower the costs, since epoxies are relatively expensive.
The repair you are contemplating is beyond a DIY level!

Is they submerged? If so is the damage primarily above or below the water line?
Got a picture or 2?

If you have the superstructure remove to allow slipping a pipe over the piling could the pilings be replaced?
