Product description
steel pipe pile
Steel pipe piles are long structural sections with a vertical interlocking system that create a continuous wall. The walls are often used to retain either soil or water. The ability of a sheet pile section to perform is dependent upon its geometry and the soils it is driven into. The pile transfers pressure from the high side of the wall to the soil in front of the wall.
Xino Steel supplies a wide variety of steel sheet piling from leading manufacturers. In piling, hot rolled steel sheet pile and cold-formed steel sheet pile are two primary methods of manufacturing sheet piles. While there are differences between these two methods, the most important distinction is the interlock. Since hot-rolled steel sheet piling is produced from steel at high temperatures, the interlock tends to be tighter than its cold-formed steel sheet pile counterpart. Normally, looser interlocks are not recommended in extremely hard driving conditions or for walls requiring low permeability. Otherwise, the two types of sections perform similarly.
Advantages of Steel Piles:
Steel piles have a large bearing capacity.
Steel piles can penetrate through stiff layers or boulders.
The volume of soil displaced during the driving of steel piles is less.
Steel piles can withstand rough handling.
Disadvantages of Steel Piles:
Steel piles have a high possibility of damage from corrosion and electrolysis.
Steel piles are relatively expensive unless the bearing stratum can develop large pile capacity.
Steel piles are less effective than friction piles.
Use of steel pile
Steel pipe piles and steel pipe sheet piles are used in a number of applications, from foundation piles to retaining walls.
Bridge foundations
Foundations of abutments and piers of road bridges and railway bridges
Building foundations
Foundations of residential buildings, warehouses, factories, and office buildings
Harbor structures
Landing piers, quay walls, breakwaters, dolphins, and sea berth structures
River structures
Sluice gates, estuary weirs, revetments, etc.
Others
Other foundation piles, landslide prevention piles, retaining walls, column structures, etc.
