Compared to Z - Pile, PS sheet piles offer minimal beam strength. They are typically used for circular cell design. This application applies hoop stress to the sheets, which is transferred to the interlock. The PS Thumb & Finger (T&F) interlock is a three-point contact connection that provides superior pull strength to counter those forces.

Z sections are considered one of the most efficient piles available today. Having the interlocks located at the outer fibers of the wall, assures the designer of their published section modulus. Z-Piles are commonly used for Cantilevered, Tied-Back, King Pile and Combi-Wall retaining systems. Additional applications also include load bearing bridge abutments.

L.B. Foster applies Fusion-Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coatings that exceed all industry pipe coating standards. This protective coating is a one-part, heat curable, thermosetting epoxy powder designed for corrosion protection of pipe. FBE coated pipe is in service worldwide.

L.B. Foster can provide additional protection to FBE coated pipe with the application of Abrasion Resistant Overcoating (ARO). This durable 2-Layer system is ideal for tough installations, such as directional drilling and exposed river crossings.

L.B. Foster is dedicated to offering the most efficient and cost effective combination wall systems to fit the needs of the construction industry. In addition to what most would consider to be traditional combination wall systems such as wide flange combination walls, pipe combination walls and pipe-to-pipe walls, we are pleased to introduce a new entry to this segment of the market. The Top Hat Combination Wall System uses specialized Hat-type sheet pile and domestic wide flange beams (W-Shapes).

Combi-wall systems are comprised of two main sections: steel sheet pile and a king pile. The king pile may be either a steel beam or pipe pile. Pipe piling systems are only limited to manufacturing and jobsite restrictions.

L.B. Foster applies concrete to pipelines to provide a negative buoyancy and prevent the pipe from floating in high water table terrain, such as swamp land. Pipe with a concrete coating is used offshore as well as on river crossings. The concrete also provides protection for the pipe as well as negative buoyancy.

L.B. Foster utilizes innovative plural component liquid spray equipment to apply liquid epoxy coatings to pipe, valves, fittings and bends.

ID Pipeline Flowliner is a field-proven internal lining that increases the efficiency of flow over long stretches of oil and gas lines. This durable lining also provides an excellent anti-corrosion protection on pipe while both in storage and during installation.
