Gold Mine

Portland Bolt was approached to manufacture anchor rods for an ore-processing facility and gold mine in the Dominican Republic. The Pueblo Viejo mine is expected to extract and process 24,000 tons of ore per day.

We delivered over 58,000 pounds of ASTM F1554 Grade 55 and 105 hot-dip galvanized anchor rods, with 52,000 pounds shipped in two weeks. Click to learn more.

Light Poles & Traffic Signals

Light poles and traffic signals are a critical component of many highway projects. Since most of these jobs are federally funded they require domestic material. With our extensive inventory of 100% domestic raw material and a wide selection of standard anchor bolts in stock, we can meet the most demanding delivery requirements. Click to learn more.

Large Diameter SAE Bolts

Question: Are SAE Grade 2, 5, and 8 bolts available in diameters over 1½”?

Answer: No, SAE only covers bolts up to and including 1½” diameter. SAE J429 (1999), the specification that includes Grade 2, 5, and 8 fasteners states, “This SAE standard covers the mechanical and material requirements for inch-series steel bolts, screws, studs, SEMS, and U-bolts used for automotive and related industries in sizes to 1½ in. inclusive.” Click to learn more.
