Vinyl Seawall PVC Sheet Piles Plastic Steel Sheet Pile
PVC sheet piling systems are the new standard with many advantages compared to hard wood, concrete and steel sheet piling. Vinyl sheet piles are made of poly vinyl chloride also known as PVC: a material with excellent resistance to weather influences and it has a long service life. Moreover, the material will not be affected by natural forces occurring in the ground, rodents, and salt or fresh water. PVC sheet piling has a number of benefits over traditional steel timber or concrete piling, including, costs, durability, ease of handling and a reduced environmental impact.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Traditional Sheet Pile
Steel Sheet Pile
The thickness of each part of the pile is the same, the section size can't be optimized, resulting in the increased of the amount of steel, the shape of the lock position is difficult to control, the joint buckle is not strict, can not stop water, and the pile is easy to tear during the use process Product Parameter
Wooden Sheet Pile
Wood is anisotropic heterogeneous material, mainly shown as a variety of physical and mechanical properties of the differences. Wood cracking is easily caused by the characteristics of uneven expansion and anisotropy. Wood is a kind of hygroscopic material, so it is easy to wet rise and dry shrinkage under natural conditions, affecting the stability of the size of wood products, resulting in deformation.
Concrete Sheet Pile
The Squeezing effect of concrete sheet pile is negative in saturate clay, which will lead to quality accidents such as broken pile and neck shrinkage of case-in-place pile. For precast concrete pile and steel pile, the pile will float up, reduce bearing capacity and increase settlement. The squeezing effect will also cause damage to surrounding buildings and municipal facilities, but it is positive in loose soil and unsaturated fill. Will play the role of encryption, improve the bearing capacity.

-When install shorter length, it is recommended to manually insert mallet and pile cap into the ground.
-When the installation is longer or the ground conditions are more difficult, it is recommended to use the pile hammer, can directly use the standard pneumatic hammer or light vibrator
-When the installation depth is above 4M or under harsh conditions, it is recommended to use the steel sheet pile with the same shape as the ecological sheet pile for construction. The support of the steel sheet pile can penetrate the hard soil quickly and speed up the installation.
