Piles are installed with driven or drilled technology and come in diameters of 76.1–1220 mm (3.0–40.0 in.) and thicknesses of 6.3–23 mm (0.25–0.91 in.). Our steel grades made for piling are up to S550J2H.
RR® and RD® micropiles
Large diameter piles
RD® casings: thin walled non-bearing casings installed by drilling
Retaining walls with higher resistance
Traditional retaining walls are often cast in place and labor intensive. The smarter choice is retaining walls from SSAB based on steel piles. Our walls have higher resistance against vertical loads than regular sheet pile walls and feature excellent bending stiffness. Our RD® pile wall is designed specifically for challenging conditions and faster implementation.

Pressure pipes for water mains, district heating and cooling
Our steel water mains are a reliable and cost-effective solution for drinking water and for sewage. We ensure the long life of our pressure pipes by using an external polyethylene coating and an internal concrete or epoxy layer suitable for drinking water. Joints can be made by welding or using flanges and couplings.

Hailuoto Causeway
Road access to Hailuoto has been studied since the early 1980s. Current general plan was made in 2016 and the HAIKI-alliance for the project was formed in 2022. The construction began in May 2024 and it will be completed in 2026. Economically the road access in quite expensive, but on the other hand both of the ferries are getting old and they need to be replaced with new ones. Also the continuous operating costs of the ferries are not low.

Reconstruction of Klaipeda Northern Breakwater
In the project ‘Reconstruction of Klaipeda Northern Breakwater’, the entrance of the harbour of Klaipeda was strengthened and renewed. In the course of this construction work, a retaining wall was built underwater at the foot of the breakwater at the narrowest point of the entrance. Through the installation of this wall, it was possible to design a rectangular cross-section between the northern and southern breakwaters, thus achieving a depth independent of the breakwater slope. Main contractor for the project was Depenbrock Ingenieurwasserbau GmbH & Co. from Germany.

Underpinning of As Oy Matti in Turku, Finland
Residential building of As Oy Matti was originally built on end bearing timber piles in the end of 1960s. The level of the building has been followed for some years and the first leveling data is from 2012. During the first years of leveling, the building was in practice non-settling. Since 2016 there has been clear settlement on one area of the building. The settlement rate accelerated during years 2018 and 2019, which emerged the need for underpinning of the building.

SSAB Large diameter piles in deep and steep Norwegian fjords
Green shipping has long been a goal for Norwegian transportation. This has led to heavy investments in electric and hybrid transportation ferries. These ferries are used to allow road traffic to pass over the huge number of fjords along the Norwegian coast line. In 2021, 70 ferries out of a total 200, more than 1/3, had been replaced by electric ones. This transition has been backed by national funding and has also triggered demand for infrastructure development.
