Spiral steel pipe is a common building material, which can be used to build bridges, docks, tunnels, buildings, etc. Among the spiral steel pipe piles, the spiral steel pipe pile is a special type, which has many differences from ordinary spiral steel pipe piles. In this article, we will explore the difference between spiral steel pipe piles and ordinary spiral steel pipe piles.

1. Different structure

A spiral steel pipe pile is a tubular structure, which is wound by a series of spiral steel plates. These steel plates are joined together by high-strength spiral welding techniques to form an integral tubular structure. Ordinary spiral steel pipes are welded by sections of steel pipes, and there is no spiral structure between them.

2. Different carrying capacity

Due to the special structure of the spiral steel pipe pile, its bearing capacity is stronger than that of ordinary spiral steel pipe piles. Spiral steel pipe piles can withstand greater loads, so they are often used in the construction of large bridges, wharves, and other projects. The bearing capacity of ordinary spiral steel pipe is relatively weak, which is suitable for some small buildings.

3. Different installation methods

The installation method of spiral steel pipe piles is also different from ordinary spiral steel pipe piles. Spiral steel pipe piles are usually driven into the ground with a pile driver until the desired depth is reached. Ordinary spiral steel pipes are welded together before being installed underground.

4. The scope of the application is different

Due to the stronger bearing capacity of the spiral steel pipe pile, it is applicable to a wider range. Spiral steel pipe piles can be used in the construction of large-scale bridges, docks, tunnels, and other projects, as well as in earthwork reinforcement and settlement control. Ordinary spiral steel pipe is suitable for some small buildings, such as houses, garages, etc.

5. Different prices

Due to the special structure of the spiral steel pipe pile and its stronger bearing capacity, its price is relatively high. The price of ordinary spiral steel pipe is relatively low, which is suitable for some projects with limited budgets.

To sum up, spiral steel pipe piles are different from ordinary spiral steel pipes in terms of structure, bearing capacity, installation method, scope of application, and price. When choosing to use, you need to choose according to the specific project needs and budget.
