Steel Pipe Piles for Sale: AGICO supplies standard steel pipe piles and steel pipe piles of full sizes for foundation, marine & infrastructure projects, mainly in the form of SSAW steel pipe, which is a type of steel pipe made by spiral forming and welding hot-rolled steel strip or coils, and sometimes it uses steel plates with large thickness. It is mainly produced according to the ASTM A252, API 5L and SY/T5040-2012 standards, with a diameter range of 325 mm – 2400 mm, wall thickness of 8 mm – 60 mm, and a standard length of 6 -18 meters. AGICO also offers larssen interlock welding on steel pipe piles as interlocking pipe piles.

Application: The 2 major welding technologies of welded pipe pile are double-sided submerged arc welding or high-frequency welding. Steel pipe pile is mainly used in foundation piling projects for civil engineering structures, docks, bridges, etc. It is also widely used in photovoltaic power station construction due to its advantages of environmentally friendly and rapid construction.
LSAW & SSAW Welded Pipes for Pipe Pile Features
LSAW steel pipe piles are manufactured with longitudinal welded seams, offering higher structural strength, superior dimensional accuracy, and greater reliability for long-term service. They are the preferred choice for bridges, ports, and other permanent or heavy-load foundation projects.
SSAW steel pipe piles, produced with spiral welded seams, feature flexible length production, faster delivery, and more competitive pricing, making them widely used in cofferdams, flood protection, and temporary or general retaining structures.
- LSAW Steel Pipe Piles: Higher load-bearing capacity, reliable weld seams, and long service life — ideal for permanent and high-safety-grade structures
- SSAW Steel Pipe Piles: Cost-effective, flexible in length, and efficient for large-volume supply — ideal for cofferdams and temporary or budget-sensitive projects
- Project Selection: Performance and durability first → choose LSAW; cost and flexibility first → choose SSAW
Steel Pipe Pile Details
Diameter: Steel pipe piles are supplied with a wide range of diameters ( 219 mm ~ 3,620 mm) or even larger. Common sizes include 630 mm, 820 mm, and 1,020 mm. Standardized diameters frequently used in application include series such as 406.4 mm, 609.6 mm, and 914.4 mm.
Wall Thickness: A variety of wall thicknesses are available to accommodate different loads and geological conditions, generally ranging from 6 mm to 47 mm. Commonly used values include 10 mm, 12 mm, and 13 mm, among others. For instance, a steel pipe pile with a diameter of 630 mm often adopts a wall thickness of 12 mm, but this can be adjusted as needed. The weight increases significantly with thicker walls—for example, approximately 84.7 kg per meter for a 6 mm wall thickness, and up to 205.3 kg per meter for a 14 mm wall thickness.
Length: Lengths are determined based on transportation and construction constraints. Single-section lengths typically range from 8 meters to 15 meters (such as 13 meters or 15 meters), while helical steel pipe piles in special projects can reach up to 89 meters. The length of steel pipes used for piling generally ranges from 8 meters to 12 meters, whereas smaller structures like warning posts have height specifications of 400 mm, 600 mm, 750 mm, and so on.

Steel Pipe Pile Introduction
A steel pipe pile, also known as tubular pile, is manufactured from high class carbon steels which can provide high strength, anti-corrossion performance and other required properties. It is widely used in foundation engineering to support and stabilize structures. Steel pipe piles are more widely used than concrete and composite pipe piles.
Most of steel pipe piles are supplied as welded pipes and are installed by driving, vibration, or jacking methods. When pipe pile is driven into the ground, the surrounding soil provides lateral confinement to pipe pile and transfer loads efficiently to deeper, more stable soil layers.
Why use Welded Pipes as Pipe Piles?
Welded pipe can provide enough strength as a pile element, and considering the cost in pipe production process, hot rolled seamless pipe can be much more expensive than welded pipes and for some project requires pipe pile in extreamly large diameter, SSAW pipe is the best option.
