Sheet Piles
Steel is the most common material used for sheet piles. In some instances, the sheet pile is combined with other shapes to form “combo piles” for use in applications requiring additional bending strength. Other steel piles in common use are steel sheet piles in a “Z”, arched or flat cross-section. Sheet piles are unique in that they are designed to be joined with adjacent piles by the use of integral interlocks. Galvanized light gauge steel and aluminum sheet piles are gaining acceptance for lightly loaded sheeting applications, and offer the advantage of corrosion resistance in bulkhead applications.
