Sheet piles have been used to support excavations for below grade parking structures, basements, pump houses, and foundations, construct cofferdams, and to construct seawalls and bulkheads. Permanent sheet piles are designed to provide a long service life.
The sheet piles breakwater was awarded to provide complete structural design and construction of the sheet piles caisson using 5mm sheet piles. The sheet piles were galvanised and concreted to protect corrosion from the sea water environment.
Although the thickness for sheet piles is only 5mm, it’s provided high strength together with high sections modules. The total sheet piles weight ratio was a huge cost saving in the project for our client. The process of installation of sheet piles with our anti-jaming interlock was easy.
