It is used as an earth retention and excavation support. It keeps soil back by using steel sheets that interlock to create a strong barrier. If the wall is excessively long or tall then anchors will need to be added to support the weight of the earth pushing against it. Steel sheet piling has been used to support underground parking garages, basements, foundations, seawalls, etc. Basically they are used in any below grade project requiring a retention wall.The advantages of steel sheet piling construction are as follows.
Advantages of pile sheet
Steel sheeting provides resistance during installation stresses. The sheets must be driven into the ground and they have high resistance to the force of being driven down.It is extremely light weight and makes it easier to lift and handle.Steel sheeting is reusable and recyclable.There is a long life for it both above and under water. It only requires light protection to keep it maintained.The pile length is easily adaptable and can be welded or bolted to make it work.They have stronger joints that can withstand the force of being driven into place. Disadvantage of pile sheet The sections are rarely able to be used as part of a permanent structure. Permanent sheet piles will stay in the ground and act as a long-lasting retaining structure. Most are used as temporary structures and are used to provide safe access roads or paths for construction projects. They are removed once the project is completed.It is extremely difficult to install steel sheeting in soil that is rocky or has large boulders. Many times the sheeting cannot be installed to the required depth.Driving the sheets may cause neighborhood disturbance. The vibrations from driving the sheets can make the close properties settle and cause problems.
