Affordable, High-Value Steel for Various Applications
At THI Pipe & Piling, we offer cost-effective mill secondary pipe and piling solutions, providing businesses with an affordable alternative to prime steel while maintaining essential functionality for various applications. Our mill secondary inventory consists of materials that may have minor defects, off-spec dimensions, or cosmetic imperfections, but still retain significant structural integrity for many industrial uses.
For projects not requiring pristine mill-certified steel, mill secondary offers a budget-friendly solution that meets performance demands at a fraction of the cost of new materials.
What is Mill Secondary?
Mill secondary materials are downgraded from prime production due to minor defects, irregularities, or cosmetic issues. While these materials may not meet the highest mill certification standards, they are still functional, durable, and versatile for various applications.
Our mill secondary inventory includes:
- Mill Secondary Pipe – Steel that did not pass full mill certification due to slight variations in wall thickness, roundness, or coatings.
- Reject Pipe – Steel may have cosmetic imperfections, excess rust, or slight irregularities, but usable in non-critical applications.
- Structural-Grade Rejects – Ideal for low-load-bearing applications such as fencing, bracing, and temporary structures.
- Non-Spec Line Pipe – Suitable for fluid transportation in non-pressurized environments.
By choosing Mill Secondary, businesses gain access to affordable and functional steel products while reducing material waste and supporting sustainability initiatives.
