*Shallow Foundations~ for transferring building loads to underlying ground~ mostly for firm soils or light loads
*

*Sheet Piles~ sheets of interlocking steel or timber driven into the ground, forming a continuous sheet

*Sheet Piles~ used in temporary works

-
*Cofferdam~ sheet pile walls enclosing an area, to prevent water seeping in
*Cofferdams are often used in temporary works, to enclose the construction area within a continuous sheet pile wall around and protect it from water entering from outside.
