Implementation
The most common method to install a steel sheet pile wall is using a vibrating block. This block is clamped on top of the sheet pile element to be inserted. By vibrating the block, the resistance decreases and the sheet pile element sinks into the ground or is pushed in. The next element is placed in the slot or groove of the previous one and is brought to depth in the same way. With the clamped vibrating block, a vibrated sheet pile profile can also be pulled out in reverse. Sheet pile elements can also be installed by driving. This method does not allow for extraction.
Prefab Sheet Piling
The 'spanwall' is a prefab sheet piling system that originated in Japan. The elements are prefabricated, prestressed concrete sheet pile planks with a load-bearing function. Unlike traditional sheet pile elements, these can not only serve a groundwater barrier function but also act as a support for a foundation element, on which a foundation beam can be poured. The prestressed concrete sheet pile is suitable for absorbing both horizontal and vertical loads. The shape of the spanwall elements is almost identical to that of steel sheet piles. The elements can be installed using a vibrating block or a hydraulic hammer, optionally with the aid of jetting lances, which can be integrated into the elements.
