Summary of the lecture
This course develops a deeper technical understanding of steel sheet pile products and systems. Participants will learn how sheet piles are manufactured, classify the different profile families, understand the role of steel grades, connectors, anchors, and sealing systems, and become familiar with environmental assessment tools such as EPDs and LCAs. The module also covers delivery conditions, tolerances, and specification considerations that influence project performance, durability, and constructability.
This course is particularly beneficial for structural engineers, geotechnical engineers, technical specifiers, contractors, procurement specialists, project managers, sustainability consultants, quality-control professionals, and infrastructure professionals involved in the selection, specification, and delivery of sheet pile solutions.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
-
- Differentiate hot-rolled and cold-formed steel sheet piles based on their manufacturing methods, steel grades, section characteristics, and product requirements.
- Compare and select principal steel sheet pile section families according to structural properties, installation considerations, and typical applications.
- Distinguish between cantilever, anchored, and propped wall systems and identify appropriate anchors, props, walings, and connections for different site constraints.
- Evaluate watertightness requirements and compare sealing solutions according to hydraulic pressure, acceptable leakage, chemical exposure, and installation conditions.
- Identify suitable interlocks, connectors, corner sections, and fabricated junctions for maintaining structural continuity and accommodating different wall geometries.
- Apply manufacturing tolerances and delivery requirements when specifying and planning the procurement, handling, and installation of steel sheet piles.
