Spirally Welded Pipe Piles
Spirally welded pipe piles have a wide range of benefits, including:
- Wide range of diameter and wall thickness - The steel pipes are manufactured in accordance with ASTM A 252, JIA 5525 and BS3601 or other specifications, with a wide choice of dimensions.
- Ease of splicing - Consistent circularity and tight diameter tolerance produce significant advantages when joining in the field. Piles can be easily spliced on site to extend pile lengths as required for deep driving.
- Long lengths - Availability of long length piles reduces cost of handling and joining at site.
- Ease of transportation and handling - As steel pipe piles are light weight and less susceptible to damage, their transportation and handling are made easy.
- Fast supply of uniform quality material in large quantity.
- Large load-bearing capacity - Piles can be driven deeply into hard bearing stratum resulting in achieving a larger bearing capacity.
- Smaller net section area - Piles can be spaced closely, owing to lesser soil displacement during piling and adverse effects on neighboring structures will be minimised.
- High column buckling and bending capabilities - Steel pipe piles are commonly used in marine structures due to their versatility.
