Technical details of sheet piles

Sheet piles are designed to interlock with each other. They are installed in sequence along the planned excavation perimeter. When arranged together, they form a wall for permanent or temporary earth support, along with anchors to provide extra lateral support.

Permanent sheet piles are designed to provide a long service life; installed with the help of vibratory hammers. If the soil is too dense or hard, impact hammers are used. Depending on the condition of the site, the sheet piles can be hydraulically pushed into the ground.

They can be made of recycled steel, and can be reused for other purposes; making them a sustainable option.
