Sheet Piling Constructions

We have a large stock of sheet piling, in both light and very heavy sections, in all required lengths. Sheet piling has many applications.

We supply and installs vibratory-driven sheet piling for both permanent structures and temporary retaining walls or construction pits. The possible applications vary greatly, depending on whether the work will take place on land, on the water or along a railroad. Examples are the vibratory-driven or press-in installation of sheet piling for basements and parking garages in poorly accessible areas in inner cities and within/between existing structures.

For applications in inner cities the vibration-free technique is often preferable. The press-in sheet piling installation method utilized is vibration-free and produces little noise. The method is therefore suitable for use in projects with demanding requirements and low permissible values for vibration and noise emissions. Projects of this type include those carried out in old city centers with historical buildings or near hospitals or sensitive computer facilities. A good example of where these vibration-free techniques are used is the extensive restoration of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Concrete sheet piling

Concrete sheet piling has been used for revetment walls along canals for almost a century. A revetment made of concrete sheet piling is a very durable construction and requires little maintenance. A disadvantage, however, is that damage is difficult and costly to repair.

Today concrete sheet piling is also used to support vertical loads. This makes these elements suitable for foundations under constructions such as bridge abutments. We drive the concrete sheet piling to the required depth with either vibratory or impact drivers. Fluidization techniques can be used if necessary.
