3 Common Applications for Used Steel Pipe

Have you ever considered purchasing steel pipe that has already been used? Some people think steel pipe is worth scrap value after it is used. However, used steel pipe has a great resale value, much higher than scrap. Used steel pipe has an incredible variety of applications, from providing structural support in excavations to foundation casings for drilled shafts. Here are some of the most common applications of used steel pipe:

TEMPORARY PIPE PILING

Steel pipe piling, which is when steel pipes are used in foundations, is one of the most typical applications for used steel pipe. Steel Pipe Piles are driven deep into the ground to provide a stable foundation to build. Steel pipe piling is useful for structures like Crane Access Trestle that are constructed in waterways such as oceans, canals, rivers, and bays.

CASING

Used steel pipe is also useful for creating casings around pipelines in order to keep them secure and to seal in moisture. There are several types of casing applications using used steel pipe. Road bore casings secure pipes located underneath roadways. Steel pipe is also used as casing for drilled shafts, which prevents any soil from caving in during drilling operations. Used steel pipe can also be used as surface casing during oil drilling operations, which helps prevent oil leaks into groundwater.

TRANSPORT

The most common transport application for used steel pipe are culverts and discharge lines from dewatering operations. However, if the used pipe passes durability and pressure tests, it can also be used as pipeline for oil or gas.

These are three of the most common applications of used steel pipe. We have a used and surplus pipe inventory from different manufacturing methods and grades for sale.
