Vinyl Seawall PVC sheet piles Long-Lasting FRP Composite PVC Sheet Piling Erosion Control Landscaping PVC Plastic Piles
In the field of construction and operation of port infrastructure, much attention is paid to improve reliability and safety of coastal protection hydraulic structures as well as reduction the cost of their construction. At the same time, one important task is arising protection against coastal erosion, since the failure of such structures can cause serious consequences. The most common solution to this problem is a metal sheet pile, which has successfully proven itself from the technical point of view. However, the building materials market is constantly developing and polymeric materials, for example, PVC sheet piles, are increasingly used in various areas of construction.
The metal sheet pile traditionally used in many structures to protect the coast from erosion often has an excessive load-bearing capacity, which is economically disadvantageous. The use of metal sheet pile for the purpose of giving the object a certain architectural style is an extremely ineffective solution, while PVC sheet pile is a more aesthetically looking product that easily fits into the overall architecture of the object.
The PVC sheet pile is made of non-plasticized rigid impact-resistant polyvinyl chloride; it is a U-shaped profile with special locks along the edges of the walls. When the profiles are connected to each other, a solid wall is formed which is immersed in the ground, pile by pile. Locking joints ensure the reliability of the structure for breaking and deformation.

VINYL SHEET PILE INSTALLATION
There are a large number of techniques to drive vinyl sheet piles. The system used largely depends on the circumstances. In some situations, particularly when short lengths of Plastic Piling are being installed, it can be inserted into the ground manually by using a maul and pile cap. This is often the case in peat land areas, where the ground conditions are more favorable. When installing longer lengths, or where the ground conditions are more difficult, a piling hammer should be used. Driving the sheet pile directly can be done with a standard pneumatic hammer or a light vibrator with or without a clamp. This system is only suitable for driving at light conditions and to a limited depth.
For heavy conditions and installation from 4m up to 8m depth, it is advisable to use a steel support sheet pile with exactly the same shape as the PVC profile. With support harder soil can be penetrated and installation is speeded up because the hammer does not have to be disconnected from the steel guiding sheet pile.

Application
CUT-OFF & CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS
Vinyl Sheet Piles are frequently the optimal solution for fluid containment projects. Vinyl PVC is a inert material that can exhibit superior chemical resistance, water corrosion resistance. The interlocks of the sheet pile can be coextruded with a sealing membrane that further improves cutoff performance. Applications include but are not limited.
to:
• Groundwater cut-off
• Chemical containment
• Fluid Seepage Barriers
• Protection of Foundation Structures
Flood protection structures
Vinyl PVC Sheet Piles can be utilized for flood protection structures as an:
• Flood Walls / Flood Levee
• Stabilization of Dams
• Protection of Piping
Vinyl Sheet Piles are frequently utilized to replace old corroded sheet pile structures as a superior alternative with superior corrosion resistance that is environmentally friendly.
WATER CONTROL SOLUTIONS
Vinyl PVC Sheet Piles can be utilized for water control structures that function by altering the flow of water in a pond, drainage channel or stream. PVC sheet piles have been utilized for water control applications for decades. Examples of utilizing vinyl sheet piles relevant to water control systems include:
• Baffle Walls for water or waste water flow control
• River Weirs
• Pond Linings
• Channel Linings for agricultural applications
• River Diversion
• Mining drainage systems
Vinyl Sheet Piles are an eco-friendly material that is light-weight, aesthetic and very corrosion resistant.
Vinyl PVC Sheet Piles provide an excellent option for a long lasting structural solution due to their superior corrosion resistance, aesthetic finish and lightweight profile for easy handling and installation. The marine applications
include:
• Marine Bulkheads & Seawalls
• Tide Walls
• Breakwaters
• Wave Breaks
• Jetty Structures
• Groins
• Scour Protection and Erosion Control
