Sheet Piling

Donegan Civil Engineering are experts in sheet pile installation for a wide range of applications, from cofferdams to deep trench excavations.

Steel Sheet Piling Services

Donegan Civil Engineering has the equipment and experience to install heavy duty sheet piling for a number of applications.

We have constructed sheet piling walls for multiple purposes including:

  • An octagonal shaped cofferdam with 10m long heavy duty larson sheet piles and tank brace supports to allow the construction of a guide collar, for a 20.00m diameter shaft, approx 9m below ground level in Altrincham.
  • The installation of 8m long steel sheet piling with interlocking edges along the centre of Strand Street, Liverpool.
  • A two-part sheeted cofferdam excavation for the construction of a Reinforced CSO Chamber.

Forming cofferdams for the construction chambers, or installing permanent piling for retaining walls is a routine activity for the company.

Sheet Piling Applications

Cofferdams

We provide sheet piling for cofferdams that can be pushed into the ground for reduced groundwater inflow in shallow waters.

Deep Trench Excavations

We use sheet piling to provide structural support in deep trench excavations. Depending on the soil, sheet piling will be hydraulically pushed into the ground or installed using vibratory hammers to the desired depth, helping to prevent soil collapse.

Bank Stabilisation

We also use sheet piling to stabilise river banks, shorelines, and embankments. This can either be used as a preventative measure or in the event of flooding to reduce damage and the negative environmental impact.

Sheet Piling FAQs

Where is sheet piling used?

Sheet piling has a large number of construction uses to ensure that a site is structurally sound. These can include a planned excavation perimeter, seawall alignment, bridge abutments, and flood protection.

What is sheet piling?

Sheet piling is a method of construction that provides excavation support, flood defence, and coast line protection. Interlocked sheet piles form a solid wall that is placed in the ground to provide lateral earth support.

What factors impact the choice of sheet piling?

There are numerous factors that will impact the choice of sheet piling that is best suited to your project. For example, project duration; depending on how long the sheet piling needs to last for will determine whether or not you require permanent retaining walls or temporary lateral earth support.

Similarly, ground conditions also play a role in which sheet piling is used as some methods are better suited to hard or soft soil.
