Pipe piling is simple and easy to understand. A steel pipe structure is driven into the ground with large impact hammers. The pipe piles remain in place primarily through friction with the soil. Pipe pile designs can vary depending on the ground conditions and support expectations of the project.  Steel pipe piling can handle extremely heavy loads.  Depending on the weight of the load the structure will be holding, you can get many different strengths of pipe for your piles.

Pipe piling has been used in the construction world for a very long time, but started becoming more popular around 35 years ago. Many tests were able to demonstrate how effective pipe piling is in load bearing situations.  Since then, the construction companies have been utilizing piling pipe all over the industry.  If your job involves heavy loads or deep foundation structures, you need to know about pipe piling. Below will explain the how piling works and how it can be used for best results in civil construction and deep foundation applications.

Piling pipe can be driven in many different ways, but here at Alpha Pipe, we think this is the most effective way in most situations:  A steel pipe is driven into the ground, typically with large impact hammers. The piling stays in place because of the friction with the soil. The pile designs can be different depending on the ground conditions and load bearing requirements on different job sites.  Since the piling is made of steel pipe, they can handle extremely heavy loads. 

For any structure that is going to be holding up a maximum load, a deep foundation is the only way to go. Structural support for deep foundations can be achieved in many ways, but steel pipe piles are the strongest and best to use in our opinion.  Pipe piling can be tailored to exact load specifications with the many different piling pipe specifications that are available to the consumer. Piling pipe can also be very cost effective compared to other types of piling in the construction industry.  Pipe piling is much more cost effective to put to length than other types of piling, plus for DOT type jobs, they can be easily inspected before the pipe is driven into the ground.
