Pipe Pile

Similar to H-Piles, Pipe Piles are also designed to transfer structural loads through the foundation to soils below. point bearing, Pipe Piles are most substantial surface area that interacts with the surrounding soil to provide great frictional load resistance. Pipe Piles are also used in conjunction and bending resistance where loads exceed the capacity of sheet piles alone. L.B. Foster Company provides ERW, DSAW, Spiral Weld and Rolled and Welded pipe pile in a wide range of sizes and lengths to meet your requirements. In addition, L.B. Foster provides value added services such as coating and welding to facilitate complete pipe pile solutions.

Electric Resistance Weld

Electric Resistance Weld pipe is normally produced in sizes from 2 3/8 inch OD thru 24 inch OD. ERW is produced from individual sheets or continuously from rolls of skelp. There are two ERW pipe versus CW pipe. ERW pipe is cold formed into a cylindrical shape rather than hot formed. An electric current rather than a for the fusion weld. Revolving copper discs extraneous metal is added; in fact, due to the extreme pressure of the rolls, steel is extruded on both the stationary cutters while still white-hot for A252 grades and both the I.D. and O.D. for other grades. As in Line pipe for the transmission of gas and oil. It is also used for the transmission of water, under in mechanical applications.

Double Submerged Arc Weld

Double Submerged Arc Weld pipe (DSAW) derives its name from the welding process wherein the required and are usually accomplished in separate processes, hence the word double. These separate welds consume a portion of the other, resulting in a single high quality weld nugget. DSAW pipe is normally produced in sizes from 24 through 48 OD and wall thicknesses from .312 through 1.

pyramid rolls process the cylinder is formed between three rolls arranged in a pyramidal fashion. As the name implies, the U-0-E method uses a U press and O press for forming. Other parts of the process, material. DSAW pipe may or may not be cold expanded. Cold expansion is a process where the pipe is expanded dimension. In the process, a gain of yield strength results. Expansion is most often utilized in a U-O-E mill due to the need to recover the yield strength lost during forming in the O press. DSAW pipe is normally produced in double random lengths with square ends or beveled for welding. Fabrication services are available to produce lengths longer than the standard DRL (double random lengths 38 - 42). A wide range of external coatings and internal linings are available with DSAW pipe.

Spiral Weld
Spiral Weld pipe, as the name implies, is a steel pipe that has a seam running its entire length in a spiral form. In the past, due to the method of manufacture, Spiral Welded pipe was relegated to low pressure and structural applications. With the development of the Submerged Arc Welding process, the production testing methods, it is now possible to produce Spiral Weld pipe for high-pressure service. Present Spiral Weld mills consist of a de-coiling device (in the case of strip base material), a strip connecting welder, straightening rollers, edge preparation tools (shearing and trimming), prebending devices, a bending and cage forming system, an internal welder, an external welder (both Submerged Arc), ultrasonic testing apparatus and cutting devices.

in ratio to strip width and the angle of the weld in the pipe. Because of the method of manufacture, a wide variety of diameters can be produced. The diameter tolerance is small, particularly with regard to ovality; and the pipe, due to its axial symmetry, has an inherent straightness. The length range is economics of transportation. Spiral Weld Pipe is used for piling and structural applications, as well as, for dredging, slurry, water and other pipelines. Spiral Weld Pipe is produced in accordance with the dimensional and tolerance requirements of various ASTM, AWWA and
