Unless you're looking at several tonnes of it in VERY close proximity (any air gaps significantly degrade performance to the point where you might only shake the rust loose).
How about packing the front third of a barge with explosives, backing and topping that section with steel plate and other tamping and filling the rear third with ballast. Then either use the current to hold the barge against the pillar at water level or water proofing the explosives and scuttling the barge next to the footings?
