Emergency Bridge Abutment Repair with Pressed-In Pipe Piles
This case study will highlight the advantages of a pressed-in pipe pile wall installed to protect an exposed bridge foundation. The June 2016 flooding in the southwestern part of Japan heavily scoured the slope in front of one of the Uto Bridge’s abutments. The bridge was traversing a very steep, heavily incised, and unstable gorge, prohibiting the use of conventional construction equipment. The press-in piling method was utilized to haul, pitch, and install 59-inch-diameter pipe piles on the top of already driven piles. The project team promptly and safely completed otherwise a very difficult construction operation with all the piling equipment firmly clamped onto previously driven piles without them sitting on the unstable slope or affecting the vulnerable abutment.
