Bossed Piles / Threaded Pin Piles
Rail Infrastructure Components– Bossed Piles & Bossed Threaded Pin Piles
We provide precision-engineered rail fabrication solutions, including bossed piles and bossed threaded pin piles, ideal for durable and reliable rail infrastructure. Our piling products for rail are fabricated to standard BS EN1090 and piles can be cut to length and supplied in lengths specific to client requirements. Our tubular piling products are specifically fabricated by our team of coded welders for use in the Rail sector.
Bossed piles and Threaded Pin Piles are manufactured at our purpose built headquarters in Montrose, Angus, our yard houses over 25,000 tonnes of steel piling and our piles are fabricated, welded, tested and supplied ready for installation. We can also supply these piles painted or galvanised depending on client requirements.
We are RISQs and Made in Britain accredited, and our team adheres to the highest standards.
Bespoke fabrication for rail is available, our experienced team will work with you to provide workable solutions for your project which will save you time and money – Get in Touch.
Recent Case Studies for Bossed Piles / Rail Infrastructure
East Linton Station
John Lawrie Tubulars was commissioned by long-term client, Van Elle, the UK’s largest ground engineering contractor, to supply repurposed steel tubulars for the use of piling at a Network Rail station in East Lothian.
Brent Crossing
For this project John Lawrie Tubulars supplied 1,843 meters of 457and 339mm pipe to be used as piling for the foundations of the slow line platform at Brent Cross West Station.
Don Valley Viaduct
Our client Van Elle won the work to install piles that would form part of a new shock absorber anchorage system that would allow the Don Valley Viaduct to remain in use for many years.
Frequently Asked Questions
The tubulars arrive at our yard mainly by lorry but occasionally also unload containers. The loads go across the weighbridge before being taken into the yard to be unloaded. The tubulars are visually inspected for any noticeable defects or excessive wear. Wall thickness is checked to make sure it meets our specification. Material is then split into carbon steel or %CR material. Any material which requires cleaning is put to our high-water pressure cleaner before going to storage bays awaiting an order.
We operate two fully automated saws for the cutting of the tubulars to the customer’s specifications. The tubulars require cutting for many reasons including access at the site or the pitch of the rig. We have also had custom made machined spud joints manufactured for use with plain end pipe.
John Lawrie Tubulars have a large inventry of stock on the ground and take pride in our close working relationships with our haulage companies. We can deliver to site as quickly as the next working day!
For the safe and easy unloading of steel pipe at site, we offer customers the option of having the pipe slung with fully certified slings prior to departure from our operations yard. For orders where shorter material is required – 2.5 meters and under – we palletise the load.
