STEEL SHEET PILING

WHAT IS STEEL SHEET PILING?

Pile pressed from steel with a vertical interlocking system

Used to create continuous wall – in most cases to retain soil or water

Can be permanent or temporary structures

Mostly used in deep excavations, and during construction of bulkheads, piers, locks, cofferdams, basements and foundations

ADVANTAGES OF SHEET PILING

Earth and water resistant

Environmentally friendly – made from recycled material and can be reused because it doesn’t lose its shape

Durable and long-lasting

Easy to find, obtain and transport

METHODS OF MANUFACTURING

Hot Rolled Sheet Piling Steel is rolled at high temperature - usually over 1700° - above steel’s

recrystallization temperature Steel easily shaped and formed with this method Often less expensive then cold formed sheet piling Less control with size because steel slightly shrinks once cools

CONTINUED

Cold Formed Sheet Piling Steel sheet is worked at room temperature into usable products Stamped, rolled or pressed into shape Produces product capable of having variety of surface finishes Higher tolerance, concentricity and straightness opposed to hot rolled

STEEL SHEET PILING SHAPES

Hat- Shape

U- Shape

Z- Shape

HAT-SHAPED STEEL SHEET PILE

Uses large section of thin wall that is hat-shaped

Most effectively used for retaining walls in narrow urban areas, areas with weak ground, and construction to protect deep water piers and banks

Used in civil engineering and to prevent ground subsidence

Efficiently driven in due to more rigid design

U-SHAPED STEEL SHEET PILE

Shape looks like letter U – made up of web with two flanges

Remains popular choice - widely known and used around the world

Sufficient for temporary uses and structures

Available in wide variety of sizes

Z-SHAPED STEEL SHEET PILE

Shape looks like letter Z stretched horizontally – made up of a web connected to two flanges with parallel outer faces

Interlocks are symmetrically located and formed on the pile’s exterior elements

Increased strength-to-weight ratio

Most popular sheet piling after introduction in U.S. in 40s
