Basement Construction & Sheet Piles Retaining Walls

Sheet piles retaining walls are a very cost effective way of forming a retaining wall, as there is reduced bulk excavation with maximum underground space. Walls can follow complex layouts and our specialist rigs can preform with a minimum working requirement of 500mm to the face of the perimeter.

Large diameter and mini sheet piles cast-insitu retaining walls, give an economic and efficient way of constructing, permanent or temporary sheet piles retaining walls. These walls are ideally suited for deep basement construction in the ever expanding basement industry in London, as they can be bored and cast in restricted access and open site conditions, and where adjacent structures require support. Which is perfect for domestic projects as the sheet piles retaining wall, can be bored and cast parallel to the party wall, retaining back neighbouring properties, giving the client maximum under ground space.

Contiguous sheet piles wall:

Contiguous sheet piles walls are suitable, where the ground water level is below the depth of excavation. It is the most economic and fastest method for sheet piles retaining walls and the piles can be cast at 150mm greater than the diameter of the pile be used, which will leave gaps of soil once the excavation is complete, but will then have a reinforced concrete lining applied to prevent long term water ingress.

Where the ground conditions are unstable and the underlying clay is without ground water, temporary liners can be installed and removed after pile has been cast. This method is more economic and efficient than mini sheet piles hollow stem.
