Engineered structural solution

Repair a Rusted Steel Column Base in Place

A 24-inch-tall Schedule 40 steel clamshell reinforces qualifying basement column bases without removing and replacing the entire column.

Application first

Confirm the Fit Before Ordering

Review the basic application and limits below. The current design report and installation instructions remain the technical source of truth.

01

Confirm sound steel

The 24-inch repair must connect above the deteriorated base into qualifying sound column steel.

02

Measure the column

Each clamshell is sized for the existing column diameter; provide accurate measurements when ordering.

03

Verify the load

The published rated capacity is 15,000 pounds. Project conditions still require appropriate professional review.

Technical note: Product selection depends on existing conditions. If the application falls outside the published criteria, contact Nolan Structural Products before ordering.

How the system works

Structural Reinforcement with a Clear Purpose

Two custom-sized steel halves wrap the existing column and bolt together. Twenty-four structural screws fasten the repair into sound steel above the slab, while the integrated base plate provides a new bearing surface.
