that 30” diameter steel pipe with a heavy 5/8”
wall thickness would safely and adequately
overcome the existing problems.
A quick delivery of the 40,000’ of material
was imperative. MANDAL PIPE COMPANY
responded by supplying the project with over
175 truckloads of steel pipe allowing for the
work schedule to recover the original lost time.
On time delivery, with quality material, complete
submittals and impeccable traceability are
routine work for the professionals at MANDAL
PIPE COMPANY. Why don’t you give us a call?
Over 6000 Tons of Large Diameter Steel Spiralweld
pipe ranging in size from 48” to 96” O.D.
and in wall thicknesses from .500 to 1.000
inches was supplied by Mandal Pipe Company
for both the Pier foundations and the temporary
work trestle. Specially designed trailers were
constructed to facilitate the transportation of
the massive 30 Ton pieces of 96” x 1.000”
steel caissons manufactured in 60’ lengths.
The project is being constructed by Audubon
Bridge Constructors and is expected to be completed
by the summer of 2010.
