Products and services

• H-Pile Points (HARD-BITE, Super-Bite, Rock Injector series) Pre-beveled cast steel H-pile points with continuous cutting teeth along flanges and individual teeth along the web. Protects the bottom of the H-pile during installation; HARD-BITE models have 7 integrally cast cutting teeth that break debris and boulders and cut into ledge rock for full bearing. Rock Injector models provide dependable support in difficult ground conditions, including sloping rock. Available in sizes for 8\"-18\" H-piles.
• Champion H-Pile Splicer (HP30000) U-shaped plates with flared ends that slip on easily and fit tightly into the two ends of the H-pile. Minimal prep work required. Uses corner welds and partial penetration groove welds along the flanges for attachment.
• Pipe Pile Conical Points (Inside Flange P14006, Heavy Duty P13006) 60-degree conical points with heavy internal ribs. The Inside Flange model is a snub nose conical point that pushes earth aside and preserves friction. The Heavy Duty model is designed for breaking through thick strata and difficult driving conditions. Both distribute load around the pipe periphery rather than concentrating on a quadrant.
• Pipe Pile Cutting Shoes (Inside Flange O-14001, Outside Flange O-14000) Provides end protection to pipe during installation. The pipe rests on a cutting shoe ledge rather than depending on welds in shear. Inside Flange version used when maximum friction surrounding pile is desired; Outside Flange version used when drilling inside pipe, rock socketing, or passing tip is required.
• Pipe Pile Splicers (Drive-On S-20000, Weld Fit S-20000 WF, Bruns S-20000B) Tapered and weld-fit splicers for connecting pipe pile sections. Drive-On model uses internal tapers where driving compresses pipe ends for friction-fit connection with no welding required. Weld Fit model is recommended when tension and uplift values are required. Bruns model is popular in New Orleans for extending pre-stressed concrete piles.
• Pipe Pile Backing Rings and Plastic Pile Caps Split backing ring placed on inside diameter of pipe providing back-up for full penetration welds, with chamfered pins setting proper gap for initial root pass. Plastic pile caps are injection molded with uniform thickness of 0.100 inches, UV resistant, available in round or square, flat or cone shaped, black or white, with 4 pre-punched holes for nailing.
• Timber Pile Points (T-9168) Pyramid-shaped cast steel point protecting bottom of timber piles. Sizes available in 5-10 inch and 9-14 inch. Easy attachment with 4 nails. Protects the pile while driving through difficult soil or obstructions.
• Timber Pile Uplift Connectors (TC-7612) Galvanized uplift connector providing tension capability between timber piles and concrete pile cap. Available with 2 uplift anchor assemblies providing 6 tons uplift capacity or 4 assemblies providing 12 tons uplift capacity.
• Timber Pile Boots (T-8316) Flat boot covering entire tip of timber pile without pointing. Protects against damaging blows from obstructions or end bearing. Easy attachment with three nails.
• Sheet Pile Connectors (SKP, SKAP, E-22, SKLC-90, Larssen T, Scorpion) Full range of corner and junction connections for sheet pile interlocks. SKP series are ball and socket interlock connectors in multiple multi-functional designs (SKP90, SKP45, SKPT, SKPF, SKPM). SKAP is a transition connector from Ball and Socket to Larssen interlock. E-22 is a weld-on connection for Larssen interlock. SKLC-90 is a junction connector for Larssen and most cold form interlock sheet pile. Larssen T provides cost-effective orientation transition. Scorpion is a multi-functional Larssen interlock connector domestically produced in ASTM A572 Grade 60, conforming to Buy America Act.
• Sheet Pile Protectors (Straight Bar 30\" X-09800, 28\" X09828, One Piece X9-PZ40/PZC-18/NZ19-21) Cast steel protectors designed to cover sheet pile web and flanges. Straight Bar models reinforce end of pile for optimum penetration, with 30-inch version for piles of 1/2 inch or less thickness and 28-inch version for thicknesses greater than 1/2 inch. One Piece protectors are Z-configuration for PZ40, PZC18, and NZ 19-21 sheet piles, made in left and right sections. All open slightly larger hole to speed installation and preserve coatings.
• Sheet Pile Splicers (Z30000) Custom splice for Z-shaped sheet piles. Nut and bolt assembly allows quick, easy alignment and weld attachment. Minimum preparation required on sheet pile.
