Cold formed sheet piles - Trench sections RC
Trench sheets are used to form a retaining wall through overlapping of the sheets.
The main types of applications are sewerage and drainage works, and particularly sheeting for small excavations and temporary works. They are indispensable structural elements that provide protection for the job-site personnel working within enclosed areas.
Trench sheets have a very low elastic section modulus and are not watertight. They usually require at least one support (struts) at the top of the wall.
Trench sheets can be reused several times (thicknesses up to 8.0 mm).
