pipe pile is normally used for stabilization to support a deep foundation to bear the heavy load capacity of the building structures or seaport projects, cofferdam construction, marine foundation farther down the earth’s surface.
the steel pipe pile is a type of spiral welded steel pipe that is commonly used for different industries from building constructions, excavation, onshore or offshore oil and gas drilling projects.
there is a wide range of foundations suitable for different applications like the condition of the ground, the presence of water, or the nature of the support needed.
types of piling pipes
bearing pile
this is a type of steel pipe pile that is load bearing. several pipe piles are driven deep into the earth and allow the load to be distributed evenly to the pipe piles.
bridge pile
pipe piling is used to create a stable support for bridges. the steel pipe is driven into the ground either by vibration or hammer driven machines. the depth and number of steel pipe piles used is pre-engineered according to the structure, the soil conditions, the water conditions and the bedrock. often the installed steel pipe pile is then filled with concrete to complete the process.
building and foundation pile
this type of pipe pile is used to provide a stable foundation for buildings, bridges and other structures. it is driven or vibrated into the ground to bed rock and often it is then filled with concrete. once in place the structure can be built on top of the pipe piles to prevent its movement.
marine and dock pile
this is the steel pipe that you see supporting docks. this steel pipe piling is driven deep into the water to provide a stable foundation for marinas and docks in rivers, lakes, and near oceans.
