What is sheet pile in construction?
Sheet piles are sections of sheet materials with interlocking edges that are driven into the ground to provide earth retention and excavation support. Sheet piles are most commonly made of steel, but can also be formed of timber or reinforced concrete.
What is sheet pile foundation?
Sheet pile walls are thin retaining walls constructed to retain earth, water, or any other fill material. They are typically thinner than masonry or reinforced concrete retaining walls such as cantilever retaining walls and can be constructed using materials such as steel, concrete, or timber.
How long do sheet piles last?
Steel sheet piling is considered a permanent solution since it can last for over 75 years without breaking down. For this reason, it is traditionally used around bridge piers and along embankments. It has a deep foundation that creates a lasting barrier that keeps dirt back during construction processes.

What are the main parameters for sheet pile installation?
The main parameters to consider are: soil conditions, sheet pile section and length, driving equipment, permanent vs. temporary wall, visible wall (coatings for aesthetics), installation tolerances (vertical, position,…), interlock sealing systems used, As a reminder, it is possible to drive sheet piles into any type of soil (except rock).
How many methods are there in the process of pile piling?

How to pin the sheet pile toe at the rock level?
Note that in European Nordic countries, when a rock layer is quite shallow and the embedded depth of the sheet pile is not sufficient to activate the required passive resistance of the soil, rock-bolting is a quite common method to pin the sheet pile toe at the rock level (see our brochure Rockbolts ).
