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
