Sheet Pile Walls

Sheet pile walls are made from linked sheet piles that are long steel plates with a Z or U shape. These piles are connected together to make a sealed wall.

Properties of sheet pile walls
Sheet pile walls can retain both soil and water. The retaining height of the sheet pile wall can be increased by driving anchors or MV piles into the ground. This increases the strength of the structure: the anchors prevent the sheet pile wall from being forced inwards by the force of the soil or water.

Use of sheet pile walls
Sheet pile walls are used for both temporary and permanent purposes. They are, for example, suitable for creating a sufficiently deep workplace in the form of an excavation pit below ground level; they retain the soil or water to enable the construction. Sheet pile walls are used in permanent structures such as quay walls or tunnel walls.

For example, one recent project in which we used sheet pile walls,one of these sheet pile walls serves as a fish recovery wall that prevents fish from being drawn into the power plant's water system.
