Custom-welded base plates for foundation tubes and piling work

Solines supplies steel foundation tubes with welded base plates for piling and foundation applications. A base plate ensures stable transfer of impact energy during piling and prevents the tube from deforming or filling with soil. This allows the tube to be driven straight, accurately and efficiently into the ground.

At Solines Welding & Construction, all base plates are professionally welded by certified welders to the end of the tube. The steel plate acts as an impact surface for the piling hammer and distributes the striking force evenly across the tube end. This promotes stable positioning, extends the tube’s service life and prevents damage during piling.

Once the tube has been driven to the required depth, it is filled with grout, concrete or gravel to further increase the load-bearing capacity and stability of the foundation. The base plate seals the lower end, keeping the tube clean and free from soil contamination during piling.

When greater depths need to be reached, a tromping (conical end) can be applied to the top of the tube. This allows tubes to be quickly and securely connected or extended without loss of energy. The result is a strong, reliable connection suitable for deep and heavy foundation applications.

Solines Welding & Construction supplies steel tubes completely to size, including welded base plates, trompings, flanges, drill points and other welded components.
