Material Five layer-coating on both sides of galvanized steel plate with the laminating method to improve corrosion resistance and durability The rigidity is increased with the jagged shape, and the surface of corrugated steel pipe is triple treated with epoxy and PE to improve the corrosion resistance and durability Manufactured by coiling a square pipe made of high-density PE material into a screw shaped pipe with a grate-type reinforced structure in the air. Manufactured by inserting iron wires such as vertical screws and oblique wires in the wall of a concrete pipe created by centrifugal force rotation Uses polyester resin instead of cement, and aggregate and iron wire are integrally molded by centrifugal force. High rigidity by forming a sand layer in the center with a special design, and reinforces the inside and outside with a glass fiber layer By mixing impact-resisting agents and additives in PVC resin, the inner and outer surfaces are simultaneously extruded.
