Structural Steel Piles For Decks

The only manufacturer on the west coast to offer a full line of light gage structural products.

Structural steel piles for decks.

This type of anchorage is best for shallow waters where the use of anchors is difficult. They can also be installed where a traditional footing hole would fill with water as it was dug making helical piles a good solution for boardwalks docks and lakeside decks figure 11. In addition piles may reduce buoyancy and usable deck surface area and make it more difficult to move the structure elsewhere. The pile itself does not move assuring the stability of your structure all year long.

They have been load tested according to astm d1143 and astm d3689 standards in several types of soils around the world. Asc steel deck is a leading structural steel roof and floor deck manufacturer serving the western united states. Their design allows for maximum use of soil capacity. For helical piles frozen ground isn t an obstacle figure 10 so in colder climates they make building decks all year round easier to manage.

A pile system can consist of plumb or battered steel pipe piles. The heavy gauge pipe is screwed deep into the ground below the frost line by a hydraulic machine. The typical helical pier for a deck consists of a 7 foot long galvanized steel pipe with a welded helical shaped screw head at the bottom. Our piles are manufactured using structural steel according to astm a500 grade c can csa g40 21 98 and csa w47 1 standards.

Structural decks offer the benefits of long span construction enabling the design of lighter and more economic structures structural decks are specified for use within many high performance roof installations typically supporting secret fix standing seam outer skin. They have been load tested according to astm d1143 and astm d3689 standards in several types of soils around the world. Asc steel deck is an innovative leading manufacturer in the structural steel roof and floor deck market. Steel or aluminium structural decking.

Our engineers determine which piles to use depending on the structure that needs supporting and the soil s characteristics. Their design allows for maximum use of soil capacity. This h pile can be fitted with reinforced point attachments cast to astm a148 90 60 specification to allow contractors to bury piling into the most compact soils. Piles may not be an option if the soil is of poor quality.

Our engineering department attends to the analysis and certification of your deck project.
