1.Overview

Compared to other conventional sheet piles produced by rolling pre-heated steel, lightweight sheet pile is made through cold forming of hot-rolled steel sheet. The edges of lightweight sheet piles are either overlapped or joined, forming a continuous structure. This product is manufactured by forming hot-rolled sheet in a multi-layer rolling mill, which results in a uniform grain structure and a variety of sizes. .

2. Features

Hot-rolled sheet is not only thin (t=4~10mm) but also strong and uniform in its grain structure.

High strength and light weight allow easy handling and less workers.

It is economical since it reduces construction time and allows recycling.

Consumers can choose from a variety of shapes.

It is environmentally friendly.

3. Advantages

Compared with the traditional U-type (400mm) pile, lightweight sheet pile has 1.6 times broader width, leading to a reduction in construction time.

Wedge piles are not needed when driving in the piles.

Ground subsidence is less likely when a pile is pulled out from a layer of slag or a muddy riverside.

When using conventional U-type piles, corner piles must be cut and made on-site. However, with the cold-formed piles, corner piles can be manufactured at the mill to the specification of customers.
