Featured Project: Sabine Causeway Bridge Demolition, Highway 82, Port Arthur, Texas

A Bridge construction firm hired us to cut the 54-inch-diameter concrete piling supports as part of the demolition of the old bridge structure. We removed each bent pile cap by cutting it at the waterline. We then deployed our hydraulic shearer to the piling's base and made a 90-second cut at the mud line to remove the remaining piling at each bend.

There were 130 total cuts made on the 54-inch pilings. We also made additional cuts with our smaller cutter to remove 100 wood pilings that formed the entrance and exit to the main channel.

Featured Project: Removal of a Large Pier in Muscat, Oman

One of the more unusual projects undertaken by Coastal Pile Cutters International, LLC was the removal of a large pier in Muscat, Oman. The Omani government was decommissioning a desalination plant extending into the Arabian Sea. Coastal transported its pile-cutting equipment and operators by air, significantly reducing mobilization time to mere weeks. They were contracted to cut several hundred steel-jacketed 24-inch concrete pilings. Coastal's demonstrated ability to overcome challenges in any location has once again been proven.

Featured Project: pier removal project, Beaumont, TX

Coastal Pile Cutters International, LLC was contracted to deploy our hydraulic shearing pack for a pier removal project at a chemical plant in Beaumont, TX. The project involved removing 100 12-inch by 12-inch H-piles without the need for personnel to enter the water. Coastal custom-built a special jig designed to capture the H-piling and maintain its initial shape, enabling a 30-second cut at the mud line. The H-pilings were successfully removed in less than two weeks, accomplished without the use of divers.

Featured Project: Marine Life Removal System in Long Beach, California

A large shipping dock in Long Beach, California, required the pilings to be stripped of any marine life prior to removal. Coastal designed an octagon jig with blades to fit over the piling. As the shear was lowered to the mud line, the blades shaved the oysters, starfish, and sea urchins off, allowing the piling to be cut at the mud line and removed.

Featured Project: Bridge removal project outside Dallas, TX.

The old bridge needed to be removed once the new bridge was open to traffic. Each piling bent had a tie beam located 15 feet below the waterline. After the cap was cut loose, the shear was tilted onto its side, allowing Coastal to cut the tie beams in the middle. The shear was then repositioned back to the horizontal position and lowered to the mud line to make the final cut, removing the piling and half of the tie beam. All cuts were made without the need for divers.
