Steel sheet piles are generally hot rolled engineered sections of steel with interlocking clutches. Sheet piles are driven into the ground, interlocked with the previously installed pile, to provide temporary and permanent earth retention and excavation support.
The ability of a designed sheet pile section to perform is dependant upon its geometry and the soils it is driven into. Installed sheet piles form a structurally sound and often watertight retaining wall or barrier. Sheet piles are used to form cantilever, propped and anchored retaining structures.
