Sheet piles – Safety in steel

Steel sheet piles used to stabilize slopes are one of the oldest methods in specialist foundation engineering. However, the installation technique has developed considerably over the years. While in the past, sheet piles were generally driven or rammed in, our gentle methods and state-of-the-art technology now make it possible to install sheet pile walls even in urban areas without a problem. We would be happy to assist you!

High-frequency vibration

 

The majority of sheet piles are vibrated into the soil using high-frequency vibrators. One particularly gentle method is hydraulic pressing of sheet piles. Diesel or hydraulic impact driving is primarily used in heavy soils and at a large distance from sensitive buildings.

Schwarze Pumpe, Leuna, Germany
To rehabilitate the former gas works in the “Schwarze Pumpe” industrial park, sheet pile wall boxes were constructed in varying sizes, depths and with plank lengths of up to 20 m.
