Steel Pipe Piles / Steel Pipe Sheet Piles

Steel pipe piles and steel pipe sheet piles are widely used in ports/harbors (piers, seawalls, and
breakwaters), urban civil engineering (earth-retaining walls and cofferdams), bridges (foundations for
steel pipe sheet pile foundations), and other applications, along with widening their applications due to
enlargement of the structures sizes, growth of water depth for the structures and increase in
construction work at sites where the bearing strata are deep under thick soft ground.

Features

1. Large vertical-bearing capacity

By driving the pipe piles into firm bearing layers, they exhibit a large vertical-bearing capacity.

2. High bending strength

Steel pipe piles with high stiffness and high bending strength enable resistance to considerable
horizontal force during earthquakes.

3. Excellent environmental performance

Piles with small section areas realize less earth removal and low vibration and noise.

4. Custom fit for each structure

Various pile lengths, diameters, and thicknesses contribute to economical design.

5. Easy production of longer piles and jointing piles

Longer products can be manufactured, and, as joining piles by welding is also easy, it is possible to
apply these to deep water and deep underground structures.

6. Easy jointing with superstructures

Jointing with upper concrete structures is easy, using reinforcing steel bars at the top of piles.

7. Easy handling

Steel thatʼs light and tough contributes to easy handling and transport.

Steel Pipe Sheet Pile Foundation

A steel pipe sheet pile foundation is constructed by combining and installing steel pipe sheet piles in an
enclosure shape. This can also be used for temporary cofferdams.

Features

1. Foundations possible to be used both for temporary cofferdams and for permanent foundations
can reduce construction periods and costs.
2. A group of steel pipe sheet piles moves together, which can provide high horizontal resistance
and vertical bearing capacity, along with reducing the occupied area at the same time.
3. Using the interlocks of high shear strength can further reduce the size of foundations. The
foundation can also be used for seismic retrofitting of bridges.

Slip Layer Pipe Pile

Special bitumen materials are applied to the surface of steel pipe piles to significantly reduce the
negative friction that is transmitted to the steel pipe piles through the shearing deformation of slip
layers.

Mechanical Joint

For the vertical joint of piles at construction sites, these joints can reduce the construction period at
actual sites compared to that of weld joint, which is commonly used. In addition, products with stable
quality are ensured by factory production. They can be constructed regardless of weather.
