Sheet Piling

Aarsleff Ground Engineering are an experienced sheet piling contractor, creating value for our clients through operational excellence.

Permanent retaining walls utilising sheet piles are used on schemes large and small, from simple projects to complex slope stabilisation solutions. They offer cost-effective alternatives to contiguous and secant piled walls. They may be designed to both retain temporary excavations and to act as the permanent retaining structure, often in conjunction with the base slab which offers propping to the wall. Sheet pile walls are commonly used in service yards of commercial and retail sector developments, flood defence schemes, bridge abutments and boundary walls. This solution has distinct advantages over concrete contiguous and secant walls. Besides being cost-effective, they require no curing time before excavations can commence, thus allowing shorter programmes.

A Cofferdam is a structure constructed to allow the enclosed area to be excavated and free from water. This excavation creates a dry working environment for the major work to proceed. Cofferdams are generally required for foundations of structures, such as bridge piers, marines, harbours, ports, docks, locks, and dams, which are built in open water or used on land where there is a high groundwater table. Cofferdams consist of a relatively impermeable wall built around the periphery of the proposed excavation, comprising welded steel structures, with components consisting of sheet piles, wales, and cross braces. Alternatively, this is achieved by temporary hydraulic frames and struts. Such structures are typically dismantled after the ultimate work is completed. A Cofferdam can be constructed in almost any desired shape.
