1. Packaging: Steel strappings for convenient handling. Wooden blocks or dunnage are inserted in between the stacks to protect them from damage during transportation. Surface treatment (optional): Black paint, rust oil, plastic film roll. Hot dip galvanized piles may also be covered with a protective film for the surface temporarily. We can also provide customized packaging.
2. Delivery: Normal stoke lengths: 6m, 12m. Custom length to suit your project. suitable for sea & rail & road transportation. Production lead time is usually 15-30 days after payment received,early delivery upon quantity and specification. Suitable for export all over the world with full documentation (inspection certificate, packing list, bill of lading).
Preventive Measures:
1. A crane or a forklift with slings or slingshoes should be used to avoid deformation of the pipe in the Handling Peoperties.
2. Keep cool, dry and ventilated place for storage, or rusting will occur before installation. For the large size/overweight parcels, please follow the local shipping regulation strictly.
1. What is the ASTM A252 Grade 3 steel pipe piles?
ASTM A252 grade 3 steel pipe piles are welded structural steel pipes for application as deep foundation support under buildings, bridges, ports, and offshore engineering.
