I like the ideal of casting the fastener into the concrete pile and then bolting. This may be more expensive then drilling through the pile but it will not ruin the prestress members (I think that is what they are called) anyway thanks to everyone for the ideals.

Yes but the cap on top of the steel or concrete piling will be the old treated timber cap. It is still in good shape. So long as I am not replacing it with new treated then Corp of Engineers and NOAA do not care. If I do a rebuild instead of a repair then the permitting process will be very...
What fastening methods could be used to secure a timber pile cap to a 10.75" diameter 3/8" wall steel pipe? The application is the replacement of creosote wood pilings with steel pilings. Since NOAA will not allow timber pilings, I must use steel or concrete. Appreciate any suggestions.
