Abstract: A pipe and pipe support interface structure comprised of a fiberglass C-shaped bearing surface saddle structure having a high strength, low friction, non-corrosive bearing surface block comprised of UHMWPE or other suitable polymer materials is disclosed. The bearing surface saddle structure is adhesively bonded to the exterior surface of a pipe following appropriate pipe surface preparation at locations where the pipe contacts a pipe support surface. The bearing surface block of the bearing surface structure provides an interface between the pipe and pipe support surface in order to protect the pipe from wear caused by bearing on a pipe support. The C-shaped bearing surface saddle structure described will increase the load bearing area of the pipe at the pipe support and serve to prevent wear on both the pipe and the pipe support. The C-shaped bearing surface saddle structure and method may be employed in the field as part of a maintenance and repair program.
