Advice and answers from the Tuspipe Team
Sheet Pile Foundation
Sheet pile foundation is a continuous soil retaining structure system formed by interlocking sheet-like members penetrating vertically into the ground, which has both temporary support and permanent load-bearing functions. It is widely used in harbor projects, underground structure support and deep foundation pit projects.
Sheet Pile Foundation Technology
Sheet pile foundation is the core support technology of modern geotechnical engineering. Its structural innovation has evolved from traditional U-pile to HZ-type combined section. The bending stiffness has been increased by 220%. The key technology is the use of hydraulic vibratory hammers to improve its productivity. Hydrostatic pile driving method can be used in sensitive environments.
