Steel sheets with interlocking edges, called sheet piles, retain soil and are installed using both vibratory and vibration-free rigs.

​

Common uses

​

• Support excavations

• Construct cofferdams

• Build seawalls and bulkheads

• Establish barriers for groundwater flow

​

Process

​

Sheet piles are sequentially installed to the planned depth for excavation or seawall construction. Interlocked piles offer lateral earth support and minimize groundwater inflow, with optional anchors for added stability. They're utilized in various projects such as below-grade structures, cofferdams, and seawalls. Permanent steel sheet piles ensure durability, typically installed using vibratory hammers or hydraulic pushing in vibration-sensitive areas.

​

Advantages

​

• Constructed from recycled steel, offering sustainability and environmental friendliness.

• Piles are reusable, reducing waste and promoting resource efficiency.

• Available in various sizes and weights, providing versatility for different applications.

• Acts as an immediate barrier, preventing soil loss and sloughing during excavation.

• Designed for long-term use, ensuring a durable and enduring solution.
