Sheet Pile Benefits
Sheet Pile is manufactured with interlocking joints, virtually cutting off any groundwater from entering the project excavation. The interlocks of the sheet pile can be seam-welded after installation to provide a permanent water cut-off and can be used as the permanent wall which reduces project budget, dewatering discharge and schedule durations. It’s long-life longevity and capability of being coated to reduce corrosion make sheet pile an excellent long-term solution for permanent applications. For temporary solutions, sheet pile shafts can be excavated in the “wet” and resist hydrostatic pressure, eliminating the need for exterior dewatering.
Standard Operations
From support in excavation and soil retention to cofferdams and flood protection, sheet piling is used to provide temporary and permanent wall solutions in the construction industry.
Sheet piles come in many different forms, but in each design, regardless of type, they’re designed to interlock with each other when installed. These structures are installed in sequence along the designated work area to form a wall. When additional lateral support is needed, anchors can be installed as well.

Installation Process
When installing the first sheet, it is driven into the earth to the desired depth at the starting point of the wall. It can be installed with vibratory or impact hammers if the site isn’t in an area where construction noise is prohibited or unfavorable. If the worksite is in a location that noise disturbances are prohibited, Silent Pilers are utilized to push the sheets into place.
After the first sheet has been installed, the second sheet is then driven into the earth at the same desired depth so that the two piles can interlock together. This process is then repeated until the entire wall is complete.
