Mild Steel (M.S) piling pipes has the following advantages:-
- Wide
range of diameter and wall thickness.
The steel pipes are manufactured in accordance with ASTM A 252,
JIA 5525 and BS 3601 or other specifications, with a wide availability
of sizes to choose from.
-
Ease
of splicing
Consistent circularity and tight diameter tolerance produce
significant advantage when jointing 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
jointing 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 into deeply into hard bearing stratum
resulting in achieving a larger bearing capacity.
-
Smaller
net sectional area
Piles
can be spaced closely, owing to lesser soil displacement during
piling and adverse effects on neighboring structures will be
minimized.
- High
column buckling and bending capabilities
Steel pipe
piles are commonly used in marine structures due to its versatility.
