Application of used pipes

February 20, 2018 | Views: 50 |

Several decades ago, no one even thought about reusing old and dismantled pipes. The growth in popularity of used pipes was provoked by a significant rise in the cost of raw materials and the process of production of new rolled products. This was the impetus for the development of a new business for the restoration and sale of pipe products that were in use.

Why is this beneficial? First of all, because a used pipe is several times cheaper than a new one. This is a huge savings, since most used pipes are dismantled from structures long before they exhaust their resource and their quality is in no way inferior to new ones.

If we take into account that the length of Ukraine's main pipelines is about 37 thousand km, and all of them, according to the rules of operation, require, from time to time, a complete re-laying, we get an almost inexhaustible source of high-quality raw materials for the used market pipes.

The change in the economic situation in the country has led to the liquidation or reorganization of many industries, the closure of construction projects. The dismantling of decommissioned production pipelines for various purposes has become another channel for bringing high-quality used pipes to the market.

Stale used pipes are most often illiquid products of industrial enterprises or pipes decommissioned from the state reserve.

The scope of used rolled products is different from the new one, but it is also extremely wide. Although the production for the restoration of used pipes and its products are not certified, there are many areas in which the use of such material is fully justified and safe. First of all, they are actively involved in construction, namely as:

  • material for the construction of temporary metal structures;
  • piles; screw piles - metal rods that are buried in the ground at the base of buildings and structures to give strength to the foundation;
  • spacer systems - used to reduce deformations and internal forces of the enclosing structures of pits, trenches, collectors, as well as to ensure their stability;
  • the foundation of lighting poles and power lines;

And also like:

  • sheet piling of excavations, which prevents soil from sliding;
  • pipe pile - used in the construction of docks, mooring walls, bridge supports;
  • case (sleeve) - use of a pipe as a shell for protection;
  • puncture (punching of steel cases) is a technology for laying local communications;
  • auger horizontal directional drilling;
  • slurry pipeline - a pipeline used to transport pulp (a mixture of water and soil or rock) when working with a dredger;
  • screw conveyors - horizontal, inclined or vertical cylindrical screw conveyors that are used for unloading, dosing and transporting various materials;
  • hydraulic structures - structures exposed to water.

And this is just a small list of possible ways to use a used pipe.

Today, an increasing number of both small and large companies use used pipes in their activities. And this is justified: why pay more if modern technologies allow you to completely restore used pipes for their full reuse. The employees of our metal depot, without exaggeration, know everything about the use of used pipe, and will be happy to help you with the selection and purchase of such a used pipe that is right for you.
