Steel Sections

Planet Energy is a leading supplier of structural steel sections in Nigeria, supplying a wide range of steel products. 

Hollow sections (RHS, SHS, and CHS) are available in metric sizes. Hot finished hollow sections are supplied in accordance with EN10210 and in EN10219 for cold-formed hollow sections. Although the section’s dimension may be identical for both hot finished and cold formed, the capacities are not direct equivalents so care is required to ensure the correct grade is requested.

The most commonly used grades are S235, S275, or S355. The grade designation represents the nominal yield strength for structural steel (S). Low-temperature impact testing can be carried out at your designated test temperature ie -20°C, -30°C,-50°C.

Universal Columns (UC)

Planet Energy offers a wide range of Universal Columns (UC). In particular, we specialize in high-yield steel columns for use in low-temperature environments. Low-temperature impact testing is standard for lengths from 6 to 20 meters.

Standards/Grades:

  • EN 10025 S275
  • EN 10025 S355

Note:

The suffix ‘UC’ refers to UK steel columns – for continental columns (also referred to as H Sections).
