COLD PROCESSING |
• |
DIRECTLY DRIVEN |
|
A unique fabrication process which increases
the tensile yield strength of steel in the fabricated pile to a guaranteed minimum of
50,000 psi. |
|
No mandrel or special devices
needed. Readily available standard truck or crawler cranes can be used. |
 |
| • |
FLUTED CROSS-SECTION |
• |
CONCRETE SAVINGS |
|
Provides increased rigidity to withstand
handling and driving stresses. The combined effect of cold processing and vertical fluting
permits the use of lighter gauges. For equal strength a pipe pile must have a
proportionally thicker wall. |
|
The tapered shape reduces
concrete volume requirements and attendant costs |
|
| • |
TAPERED SHAPE |
• |
CONICAL NOSES |
|
The tapered shape develops the
necessary load capacity with minimum embedment in the bearing stratum. |
|
Forged steel conical noses are factory
attached and included in the price of all tapered sections. Heavy wall provides maximum
tip protection. |
|
| • |
CHOICE OF TAPERS |
• |
SPLICING |
|
Three rates of taper - F, J and Y
are available to develop the required capacity in the bearing stratum. |
|
Pile Sections are self-aligning for joint
welding due to telescopic design and fluted cross-section. Cutoffs can be reused to extend
other piles. |
|
| • |
FLEXIBILITY |
|
|
|
Orders can be
adjusted as to length of pile and quantity as the job progresses to meet actual
requirements. |
