Tram line 23 runs through the Vakenoordseviaduct in Rotterdam. Between the Keizerswaard and Vuurplaat stops, the tramway for this line was renovated last June. To ensure that the distance between the duo blocks remained the same, the blocks were connected to galvanized pipes. Solines supplied galvanized pipes with a diameter of 76.1 mm. The pipe forms a connecting piece between the two concrete elements.
Solines regularly supplies pipes for marinas. Recently, for a floating jetty of 150 meters in Wijk bij Duurstede. Often, the customer is looking for a suitable but above all affordable solution. Such a solution certainly cannot come at the expense of the quality of the total product: the jetty itself! Alternative diameters of steel pipes in stock Solines has a perfect solution for customers with this type of request: steel pipes in ‘alternative diameters’. Available from stock. Custom welded pipes For installing the...
For the construction of pig, cattle and chicken housing, use is made of thermally (dipped) galvanized pipes in different diameters. Among other things, Solines has a constant stock of galvanized pipes in Moerdijk, so that we can deliver directly. Pipes with different diameters and wall thicknesses These are pipes with diameters between 17.2 mm and 114.3 mm with a wall thickness varying from 2.0 to 4.0 mm.

The Groote Museum in Amsterdam is the oldest and most impressive ARTIS building. It is also on the oldest ARTIS site: the outer Middenhof. Just half a hectare in size, this lot was acquired in 1838 by the founders Westerman, Werlemann and Wijsmuller (‘the three W’s’). Because ARTIS’s initial collection consisted mainly of stuffed animals and fluid-preserved specimens, ARTIS was able to establish a small museum within a year, although not much more than a wooden barrack. Thanks to a...
Solines supplied pipes for the foundation of traffic lights and barriers for a railway crossing. The unique thing about this project is that the foundation had to be placed in soil with very little bearing capacity. In order to guarantee the stability of the foundation, a hole was first drilled in the soil with a diameter of around 813 mm. This hole had to be 11 meters deep, in order to achieve an underlayer that had to be sufficiently strong. A...
Approximately 350 tonnes of pipes torch-cut to size Solines supplied steel pipes for the foundation of the concrete retaining wall for the new train washing line in Utrecht. Over two phases, we torch cut and delivered a total of approximately 350 tonnes of pipes in the dimension Ø 473 x 14.71 mm. In order to bring the pipes to depth, the auger method was used. New train washing line between Utrecht Centraal and Utrecht Lunetten ProRail commissioned the renewal of the railway...
Drilling point The traffic bridge in Denderleeuw in Belgium was in dire need of replacement. The new Kemelbrug had to be placed right next to the existing railway bridge. In order not to hinder train traffic, the vibration-free drilled placement of drill piles for the foundation was requested, with prefab pipes including water pipe and drill points supplied by the customer. The current bridge in the Wellestraat in Denderleeuw dates back to 1920 and is in dire need of replacement. Since...
Drill pipes for Erasmus MC in Rotterdam For the foundation of new construction of the Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, Solines was able to supply drill pipes in January 2016. The pipe piles Ø 457×8 mm with steel grade X60 were made to size according to specifications. They were fitted with grout injection lances. Drill pipes with thinner wall thickness Due to the higher steel quality of X60, a diameter of 457 mm and a wall thickness of 8 mm could be used....
