GERDAU: Wide Flange Beams for Solar Posts

Driven wide flange beam piles are the most efficient foundation for ground mounted solar
systems. Due to their quicker installation, beam piles save you time versus other solutions.

In addition to standard shapes, Gerdau has developed two new sections specifically for solar posts:
The W6x7.75 and W6x10.4 sections have been added to increase flexibility in design and minimize project
costs by leveraging incremental weight reduction with economy of scale.

Steel Grades:
Wide Flange Beams are available in all standard structural steel grades. Please inquire for other high-strength grades.

Lengths:
Available in standard lengths of 20', 25', 30', 35', 40', 45', 50', 55', 60', and 65‘. Non-standard lengths are also available
subject to mill tonnage minimums. Inquire for lengths >65‘.

Tolerances:
All structural sections listed in this document shall comply to the general requirements determined by ASTM A6/A6M.
* W6x7, W6x7.75 and W6x10.4 are not listed in ASTM A6/A6M Table A1.2 (nor in AISC Steel Construction Manual) and
therefore dimensions may vary slightly depending on the producing steel mill.
