- Discover steel sheet piles
Steel sheet piles are long structural sections with a vertical interlocking system that create a continuous wall.
They are commonly used to retain either soil or water. The performance of a sheet pile section depends on its geometry and the characteristics of the soils into which it is installed.
Reduce the environmental impact of your projects
The EcoSheetPile™ Plus brand, an essential part of the XCarb® recycled and renewably produced initiative, is produced using the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) route, which utilizes 100% recycled material and 100% renewable electricity from the same power grid.
This allows the manufacturing of the new EcoSheetPile™ Plus with even lower emissions compared to the typical energy mix. The difference is even more significant when compared with conventional steelmaking, which emits around 2.3 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of primary steel produced. Certified by a specific Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), the production of the EcoSheetPile™ Plus range emits as little as 409 kg CO2-equivalent per tonne of steel produced. It also comes with a "Guarantee of Origin," certifying the renewable electricity sources, audited by an independent third party.
Steel sheet piles are an exceptionally resilient solution for foundations and retaining walls, offering numerous advantages over alternative materials. One of the primary benefits of steel is its superior strength-to-weight ratio, which allows for easier handling and installation without compromising structural integrity. Steel sheet piles also provide great flexibility in design, enabling them to be driven into various soil types and conditions with precision. Additionally, steel’s durability and resistance to environmental factors such as corrosion, particularly with innovative steel grades like AMLoCor®, ensure long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance and repairs.
In the context of flood protection barriers and coastal erosion prevention, steel sheet piles stand out as a robust and adaptable solution. As climate change continues to exacerbate extreme weather events and rising sea levels, the need for effective and sustainable infrastructure becomes paramount. Steel sheet piles can be rapidly deployed to create strong, impervious barriers that protect against flooding and erosion, safeguarding communities and ecosystems. Their adaptability allows for seamless integration into existing structures and landscapes, ensuring they meet the evolving demands of climate change adaptation.
SmartSheetPile aims to provide infrastructure owners and operators with a digital asset that goes beyond traditional steel sheet piles by integrating sensors for real-time data collection. It enables continuous monitoring of the structure's health and overall condition.
Typical use cases include the detection of impacts on sheet pile walls and identification of their origin, remote corrosion monitoring, alert systems to monitor flood levels and the integrity of flood protection barriers, as well as strain and deformation measurement to assess infrastructure health and remaining capacity.
