Metal sheet pile

protection

ArcelorMittal’s piling series are especially suitable for quickly building reliable and cost-effective structures. They are characterised by excellent section properties such as a high ratio of section modulus/weight as well as high moments of inertia. Steel sheet piles offer significant advantages in the following applications: Water transport: Quay walls made with steel sheet piles allow for up to 20% faster construction and 15% lower costs when compared with alternative materials. Steel is the material of choice for breakwaters, dolphins, locks, and canals. With the intrinsic ductility of steel, sheet piling solutions in conjunction with modern performance-based design methods help with the design and optimisation of safe ports in seismic areas. Hazard protection: Dykes and flood or erosion protection barriers made with steel sheet piles are one of the most efficient ways of protecting against floods and rising sea levels, resulting in savings of up to 40%. Mobility infrastructure: Composite bridges with steel sheet pile abutments require up to 10% less construction time and up to 15% less economic impact on the community throughout their service life. Permanent steel sheet pile walls in underground car parks of two to three levels are up to 50% more cost-effective than walls built with alternative materials and offer significantly shorter execution time. Environmental protection: Steel sheet piles are used as temporary and permanent retaining walls for landfill conversion, polluted soil remediation, riverbed cleaning operations, and pollution containment.
