Welded H Piles

Our welded steel H piles—also referred to as structural H beams or bearing piles—are engineered for demanding applications such as retaining walls, deep foundations, port constructions, and marine structures. Unlike standard hot-rolled sections, our tailor-made H beams offer superior adaptability with custom dimensions, optimised profiles, and cost-effective performance.

Typically used to support buildings, bridges, and quay walls, these steel piles ensure long-term stability with high load-bearing capacity. Each H pile is custom-fabricated to meet strict specifications for size, thickness, and load requirements. Whether driven into rock, soil, or sand, our piles ensure stability even under complex ground and surface conditions.

Welded H piles installed as load-bearing king piles in a combiwall system. These structural beams offer greater load-bearing capacity and are commonly used in retaining walls.
Welded steel H piles are prepared for use in structural applications, offering robust support for tall structures and deep foundation systems.
Double welded H beams installed in marine retaining wall to adapt to challenging soil conditions, providing greater capacity to withstand loads in coastal foundations.

Advantages of Welded H Beams for Retaining Wall:

  • Custom Dimensions: Manufactured to match exact project requirements in height, flange width, thickness, and length.
  • Better Performance: Custom welded steel beams ensure optimal load-bearing capacity tailored to your needs.
  • Cost-Effective Fabrication: Achieve up to 15% CAPEX savings compared to mill rollings or traditional hot-rolled beams.
  • Fully Interchangeable: Compatible with standard hot-rolled combi-wall systems and approved by leading EU design bureaus.
  • High Structural Integrity: Ideal for retaining wall systems and deep foundation designs.
  • Reliable: High weld quality, certified materials, and better performance.

Why Choose Our Welded Steel H Piles?

  • Tailor-Made for Your Project: Each H pile is custom-welded to meet specific project requirements — length, width, thickness, and steel grade.
  • Superior Structural Performance: Our H piles surpass traditional Hot-rolled beams in sectional area, moment of inertia, and elastic section modulus, resulting in greater strength and improved performance.
  • Full Interchangeability with Hot-Rolled: Our welded H piles are fully compatible with industry standards and approved by EU structural design bureaus.
  • Fast Production & Logistics: Thanks to flexible manufacturing and strategic partnerships, we can supply volumes quickly and deliver to the site on time.
  • Technical Support at Every Step: Our engineering team works closely with you to provide an optimal combiwall or alternative solution, ensuring the best outcomes and economy.
