Pile Cutting And Removal Services

Leos Maritime provides complete underwater pile cutting and removal services for marine construction, offshore decommissioning and foundation engineering. Using hydraulic, robotic and diver assisted systems, we deliver precise, safe and efficient solutions to prepare sites for new projects or clear obsolete structures.

Types Of Piles And Cutting Requirements

Different pile materials require tailored cutting methods to maintain structural integrity:

  • Concrete piles are trimmed precisely using hydraulic croppers without harming reinforcement.
  • Steel piles are cut smoothly and cleanly using high powered cutting tools with minimal disruption.
  • Precast piles are cut using controlled methods to protect surrounding structures and materials.
Techniques For Pile Cutting

Techniques For Pile Cutting

Modern projects use several methods depending on pile size, depth and material:

  • Manual cutting uses traditional chisels, hammers and jackhammers, but it is slow and labor intensive.
  • Hydraulic pile croppers are excavator mounted tools that deliver fast, consistent and uniform results.
  • Robotic cutting systems provide automated precision for complex pile profiles and high accuracy work.
Underwater Pile Removal

Underwater Pile Removal

Pile removal ensures obsolete or damaged piles are safely extracted or severed to clear the way for new marine structures. Our methods include:

  • Mechanical extraction uses cranes or excavators to lift piles out of position.
  • Hydraulic cutting and lifting involve cutting piles at depth and then removing segments for disposal.
  • Explosive cutting (special applications) is used for deepwater or heavily reinforced piles where other methods are impractical.

Why Are Pile Cutting And Removal Necessary?

These services are critical for accurate foundation work, safe marine construction and infrastructure upgrades:

  • Leveling and finishing ensure pile tops are uniform for stable platforms.
  • Structural modifications adjust pile length or profile for revised designs.
  • Overdriving corrections bring piles to the proper elevation after excess depth driving.
  • Decommissioning and site clearance remove outdated piles to prepare for new installations.
  • Integration with pile caps or beams provides flush connections for optimal load transfer.
