March 15, 2022 10:14 CET 6 min read

Component for small diameter RR piles contains now the latest product updates. Also component for standard pile caps has been updated to be in line with the latest version of the manual.

Component package for SSAB pile products includes totally seven different components:

   -SSAB_RRPileMicro for small diameter driven RR pile sizes RR75-RR/RRs320
   -SSAB_RDPileMicro for small diameter drilled RD pile sizes RD90-RD/RDs320
   -SSAB_RRPileLarge for large diameter driven RR pile sizes RR400-RR1200
   -SSAB_RDPileLarge for large diameter drilled RD pile sizes RD400-RD1200
   -SSAB_MicroPileCap for standard pile caps
   -SSAB_PileWallRoute for RD pile wall
   -SSAB_PileForWall for single pile in RD pile wall

All new components and library files are available through Tekla Warehouse, the Tekla Structures BIM storage.

Compatibility with old version

Version number of the updated component is 2.0. The changes especially for standard pile caps have been so extensive, that component is not anymore compatible with older versions.

If you have been using old version of the components in some projects, you should complete those projects with that component version. New version should be taken in to use with new projects.

Version number of the component in use is now also visible at the top of the component dialogue.

Pile elements with mechanical splices and rock shoes for RR270

Mechanical splices for RR270 pile size have been added to component. RR pile elements with mechanical splices are now available for RR270 with both wall thicknesses 10 mm and 12.5 mm as well as with both steel grades S460MH and S550J2H.

Also mechanically attached rock shoes are now available for RR270 pile size.

New pile size RRs170/12.5

Also new pile size RRs170/12.5 has been added to component.

Remember also custom profile files

Some Tekla Structures versions and country setups do not include all necessary profiles for SSAB piles. For the missing profiles, there are also two library files available. 1^st file includes some CFCHS profiles for piles and 2nd includes connector profiles for RD pile walls.

Epiroc presents world’s first underground mine truck made using fossil-free steel from SSAB

Epiroc is pioneering a battery-electric underground mine truck prototype made using fossil-free steel from SSAB. The prototype, a Minetruck MT42 Battery, has a dump box made from fossil-free steel. The result will mean a 10-tonne reduction in CO2 emissions per manufactured dump box, the equivalent of taking five gasoline cars off the road for an entire year.
