NISTF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- NIPPON STEEL CORP. (TSE:5401)
said Wednesday that some 16,000 tons of its 38-meter
straight-web sheet piles were utilized to construct the
collision protection structures for the pier foundations of the
Incheon Bridge in South Korea. The Incheon Bridge, which links
Incheon International Airport with New Songdo City, is the
largest bridge in South Korea and the seventh-largest bridge in
the world.

* Nippon Steel's straight-web sheet piles are a record 38
meters long, which is 50 per cent longer than normal and long
enough to be used even in deep waters without the need for
extensions and welding.

* The Incheon Bridge represents the first use of these
piles.
