Steel casing is most commonly used on underground construction projects to wrap or protect utility lines from damage. The pipe can be used when drilling horizontal or directional holes under roads, rivers, lakes or railways. Generally speaking, steel casing is very durable and versatile and therefore can be used in various construction projects as well. Casings are available in a variety of sizes and diameters, as well as straight-seam, spiral-type casings. Welded, rolled and welded type fabrication.
Casing use
Casing is most commonly used in underground boreholes to wrap and protect pipes. In horizontal underground drilling projects under streets, highways, railways, rivers and streams, steel casing can be jacked into pre-drilled holes in sections. The casing segments are then joined together by welding or using special connections. Another common practice for installing casing is to weld the pipe into a strip and then pull the pipe directionally through a previously drilled hole. Can be used to install casing under highways, railways, lakes and rivers. Casing is most commonly used to protect underground utility lines, including water pipes, high-voltage electrical lines, natural gas lines, telephone lines, and fiber optic communication lines. This steel casing protects the lines from human activities such as drilling or excavation, as well as from natural elements. The strength of steel is a major advantage in protecting these lines.
