Palplanches et dock

Sheet pile walls are constructed by driving steel sheets into a slope or excavation.



They have an important advantage in that they can be driven to depths below the excavation bottom and so provide a control to heaving in soft clays or piping in saturated sands. Sheet piles are more costly and less adaptable to hard driving conditions particularly where boulders or irregular rock surfaces occur. 

There are 3 main types of sheet pile walls:

  • Cantilever 
    One main advantage of cantilever sheet pile walls is that they can be pulled and reused.

  • Anchored 
    Well constructed anchor walls undergo less lateral deflection than braced walls and so provide a better control of backslope subsidence.

  • Propped 
    They can be designed to have fixed or free earth support at the bottom and derive their stability from the props.


Type of Material for Sheet Pilling

  • Cold rolled steel

  • Hot rolled steel

  • Vinyl
