Galvanized steel pipe was used to create isolation casings for bridge foundations on a project in Antioch, California in 2014.
We furnished approximately 430’ of 168” 8g lengths from 26’ to 66’ and approximately 200’ of 108” 10g in lengths from 19’ to 46’.
Fulfilling the order for this project created challenges in that the diameter was barely able to fit through our fabricating plant door, the pipes were so heavy that up to 3 forklifts were used to lift/transport the product, and it all had to be carefully shipped to the jobsite on a stretch step-deck trailer and off loaded with a crane onsite.
The holes were cement treated as they were being drilled to prevent the sandy soil from collapsing into the hole.
Our pipe was then craned into the hole vertically and used as a form as slurry was applied around the outside of the pipe making the pipe a permanent part of the structure that would house the rebar cage, electrical and drainage utilities.
This project demonstrates that corrugated steel pipe provides flexibility by varying profile and gauge combinations to meet site specific project requirements.
The customer met their critical timing requirements by selecting corrugated steel pipe in lieu of other traditional materials with substantially longer lead times.
