Type 316 stainless steel plays crucial role in the continuation of ocean research

The Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Pier, managed by Scripps Institute of Oceanography, is one of the world’s largest research piers. Since its initial construction in 1916, scientific experiments at the pier have furthered understanding of global oceans. Replacing the pier’s railings with Type 316L stainless steel posts and cable infill ensures that the research projects can continue safely into the future.
