Service
Sheet piles are specially formed steel profiles. Driven into the ground side by side and interlocked by hydraulic hammers, they form sheet pile walls. Their most common purpose is to prevent possible collapse and provide a safe excavation area.
Applications can be permanent or temporary. In permanent works the profiles stay in the ground as retaining structures; in temporary works they are extracted with hydraulic vibratory drivers (vibrodrivers) and reused.
Profiles are produced by hot rolling or cold forming. Hot-rolled profiles provide tighter interlocks, lower permeability and a wider strength range — although tight interlocks are not always preferred. Choosing the right profile and equipment for the soil, embedment depth and pressures is essential, and requires real expertise and experience.
How it is applied
A sheet pile wall is built step by step, interlock by interlock, until the perimeter is complete.
01
A row of steel sheet pile profiles is arranged and the interlocks are engaged.
02
Each pile is driven — or vibrated — individually to the required depth.
03
The next pile is driven with its interlock engaged in the previous one.
04
Steps 2 and 3 are repeated until the wall perimeter is closed; connectors are used for more complex profiles.
Application stages
01
The area is inspected in advance: access for the driving rig, existing soil investigation reports or, if none exist, a surface assessment of the soil type.
02
Preliminary calculations based on excavation depth and soil type set the profile size; suitable equipment — excavator-mounted or free-hanging vibro hammers, or diesel hammers — is then selected.
03
Profiles are driven in sequence under continuous control of alignment and depth.
04
Where needed, piles are cut to level or extended by welding to reach the design length.
05
In temporary works the profiles are extracted with vibratory drivers after use and taken away to be reused.
06
The completed wall is checked against the design and handed over for the next phase of work.
