File Cap Replacement - Oregon Department of Transportation 1989 - Video VH-121 - This video demonstrates the replacement of a timber pile cap under a concrete deck, wood stringer bridge on wood piling. An actual project was taped. Damage to the original timber structure is explained, and the replacement process is shown: setting and hanging the needle beam staging and deck area for the work crew, placing pile clamps, rolling a false cap into place, and jacking the bridge deck, with commentary by maintenance supervisors. Workmen under the bridge coordinate with a crane operator on the bridge deck to remove the old pile cap and install the new one.
