Steel Sheet Piling Consulting

Steel sheet pilings can go through a cold or a hot forging process depending on the client's need and the manufacturer. Several architectural styles give builders the flexibility to choose whether the pilings are temporary or permanent structures.

Flat piles are typical for use around cylindrical soil zones, where the U and Z-shapes are better for permanent use and heavy loads. The pan sheet piling design is useful for temporary construction areas because they are smaller and work for lighter applications.

Kagaoan Engineering engineering team studies and tests soil conditions to give contractors and building firms the necessary information to decide which steel pilings are required by code, weight, and need. Our team will work side by side with property managers, architects, and builders to help you figure out the best solution. With an eye for detail and the knowledge to help your workers develop a solution that works for your budget, our engineers can assist you with figuring out the right design for your site.

What are Steel Sheet Pilings?

Simply put, these panels are sheets of steel that interlock forming a wall to hold back water, dirt or both. Once thought as useful only for temporary applications, steel pilings are gaining popularity because they save time, money, and hassle for the builder. With the hot forging process in the U and Z-shaped panels, these retaining structures show significant vertical strength. Businesses no longer need to remove the steel panels to install concrete pilings because the steel will hold up under long-term use and heavy loads. These walls use the soil pressure to hold the earth in place. Since they do not connect to the footings, the weight loads on the footings do not affect the sheet piles and vice versa.
Types of Steel Pilings

Our sheet steel piling consulting team will provide a custom analysis that includes measurements, water table effects, and weight limits to help your organization choose which steel panels are best for your building project. Our engineering team will use soil densities, composition, and water saturation to help figure out the load that the pilings will need to resist. Flat panel construction means that the walls must use the other panels to create a robust structure. These structures can hold back massive weight loads and are easy to adapt for large diameter uses. The z- and u-shaped panels use interlocking designs to retain soil and water. These panels connect at four points to give the pilings heavy weight holding capabilities. U shapes are preferable for applications where panel sheering is a possibility. Pan sheets are common in residential applications and for drainage ditches. They are not for commercial or industrial use because they only hold small weight loads.

What are the Benefits of These Structures?

Using a permanent steel sheet wall can reduce foundation builds by at least half. These pilings are made in the factory and are easy to apply to open foundations. Contractors find that they can adapt these structures from temporary forms to permanent foundation walls by cleaning and welding the material after the initial dig is complete. These sheet pilings allow for permanent underground access for parking garages. They help businesses stay on track with time and budget, and offer a versatile option for including basements or underground access to a project.

What Do Steel Sheet Piling Consultants Do?

Our technicians go through a rigorous education plan to become geotechnical engineers. We are consultants that help builders and developers figure out the most cost-effective solutions for structural stability and long-term use. Determining whether the ball and socket locking system is necessary or whether a flat panel construction will hold back the earth better are one of the considerations that our team takes into account when consulting with a new client. We use displacement figures, weight loads, and other calculations to determine which steel panels to use.
