Sheet piles KD600/6 D28090 is not possible on site, then KD600/8 D27909,KD600/9 D62651 are built in barges or slipways. Then KD 600/6 is towed to its towed to its final position by floating. Guide piles are normally used for sinking the first few lifts. Note that sinking of KD 600/8,KD 600/9 are directly done in open water.

In these instances KD600/8 is necessary to determine from prior soils investigations, the depth to which consolidation will occur and thereafter KD 600/9 to establish the magnitude of the induced down drag forces imposed on the piles.

The trench sheet advancement of KD 600/8,KD 600/9 mathematical treatment of arching KD 600/6 action in soil. corrected existing KD600/6 errors and received a major ,KD600/9 engineering award. Dr. Handy is also known for his writing aimed at non-technical readers.
