Products

What types of tubular products does Lally offer?

Lally offers two main product categories: Structural Tubulars (New Secondary, Structural, and Surplus) and Limited Service Casing. Products are available in cut-to-length, spliced-to-length, and random lengths.

Lally has supplied thousands of projects with steel pipe for bollards, casing (horizontal and vertical), columns, fabrication, foundation, original equipment manufacturers, piling, service centers, resellers, and water wells.

New Secondary tubular products are production rejects from steel mills that Lally purchases, processes, and repurposes. These are high-quality, original materials — not used — that simply didn’t meet prime pipe standards at the mill.

New Surplus pipe is new prime pipe that may or may not have MTR’s available, and in the case of line pipe, may have Fusion Bond or Abrasive Resistant Overcoating.

This pipe works well for many substitution applications, and if available with MTR’s it may qualify for “made and melted applications”.
Surplus Pipe is also available in OCTG casing and tubing sizes.

Sustainability

Is Lally an environmentally responsible supplier?

Absolutely. Lally is one of the largest and oldest tubular recyclers in the world. By purchasing secondary and surplus pipe from domestic mills — material that would otherwise be scrapped — Lally prevents massive amounts of energy use and pollution. Lally consumes 100% of what it receives from domestic tubular mills, and any unusable material (approximately 5–8%) is sold to scrap dealers for remelting.

Yes. Lally purchases New Surplus Pipe, Line Pipe, OCTG pipe throughout the U.S.A. We buy any quantity large or small, contact Sales@LallyPipe.com or call 800-743-7034
