Sheet piles
The sheet pile walls are vertically nailed steel profiles, fastened to each other by means of a specially shaped lock on the element itself, which due to the friction during driving becomes watertight and provides monolithicity of the executed wall. This allows the use of this type of fortification even in large water inflows, as at a sufficient depth of driving the construction excavation is protected from the entry of groundwater.
The main principle in implementation is to reduce the friction between the sheet pile and the soil. The vibrations temporarily disturb the soil around the element, causing the effect of "liquefaction", which leads to a reduction in friction between soil and sheet piling. This allows the compaction to be done with very little added force, ie. own weight plus the weight of the vibrator or assistance from the mast.
Advantages
✓ Приложими при почти всички видове почва
✓ Идеален вариант за укрепване при наличие на високи подпочвени води, irrigated and swampy terrains, in which the excavation is unstable even for a short period of time
✓ Подходящи при ограничено пространство: construction of a wing, close trenches and mines
✓ Възможност за ограждане на полигонални и кръгли периметри
✓ При големи натоварвания възможност за комбинация с анкери и разпъващи конструкции
✓ Висока производителност
✓ Незабавна носимоспособност
✓ Приложими във водна среда
✓ Инвентарно използване на шпунтините
✓ Липса на изкопни работи за реализиране на укрепването
