The practice of refurbishing used steel pipe is a type of recycling that most people don’t think about. There are thousands of miles of underground pipe in place all across the U.S. A big part of Alpha Pipe’s business is partnering with pipeline contractors to take up pipelines which are not being used. When the pipe is dug up out of the ground, Alpha Pipe is on site to cut, clean and sort the pipe. This pipe is then resold for various uses: pipe piling, casing pipe, trestle, falsework, drainage, culvert pipe, irrigation – just to name a few.

AlphaPipeThis pipe has usually been in service for a number of years and needs to be replaced for various reasons. The fact that it might not be a good fit for it’s original intention doesn’t mean that the pipe cannot be used for many different applications. The pipe is still strong and Alpha Pipe sorts their used pipe to make sure that any pipe that is damaged or aged beyond use is scrapped.
