Sheet Pile Floodwall Applications

Floodwalls and Seepage Protection
Flood control projects using sheet piling have been in service for over 2 decades. Sheet piling is commonly used in projects designed to stabilize and raise the height of levees and earthen dams. Sheet piling can help to prevent overtopping, internal seepage, piping of stratum, surface erosion and rodent damage. Sheet piling is also used for cantilevered flood walls in levee repair projects. In fact, sheet piling protects some of the nation's most valuable assets including international airports and some of the largest refineries in the world.

Containment and Cut-Off Walls
They have decades of experience providing environmentally friendly sheet piling that is used in some of the most challenging chemical containment, levee seepage and groundwater cutoff projects. ShoreGuard and UltaCompositeTM sheets have been utilized in remediation projects throughout North America including federally funded Superfund and EPA managed sites here in the United States. Sheet piling has been successfully used in corrosive chemical environments such as those containing VOCs, BTEX compounds, methane vapors and NAPLs.

Water Control Structures
Sheet piling are commonly used in the construction of water control applications such as baffle walls, weirs, silt fences and breakwaters. Projects ranging from small retention ponds to the largest fresh water diversion structure in the world. UltraComposite and Aluminum sheets have revolutionized the industry by providing a cost-effective, sustainable building material which can provide a long service life without toxic coatings or preservatives.

Retaining Walls
SheerScape retaining wall system has revolutionized the hardscape industry by providing a sustainable, cost-effective system for Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) structures. Unlike traditional block or MSE retaining walls, SheerScape utilizes patented hybrid technology which combines the inherent strength and shape properties of our FlatPanelTM synthetic sheet piling with proven synthetic earth reinforcement.
