For the design of sheet pile walls or foundations, ArcelorMittal Projects, in cooperation with ArcelorMittal CRPS, offers comprehensive technical support.

This service comprises:

• feasibility studies
• dimensioning of sheet pile structures and foundation piles
• optimizing the technical and economical solutions
• elaboration of anchorage or strutting systems
• calculation of vertical load-bearing capacity of sheet piles

To calculate sheet pile constructions, we need the following data:

• characteristic cross section of the sheet pile wall with indication of the soil and water levels at both sides of the sheet pile wall.
• additional loads on the sheet pile wall (crane loads, traffic, foundations, vertical or horizontal forces on the wall itself, etc.).
• penetration tests with indication of the reference level on the cross section, if possible including borings and description of the different soil layers.
• a ground plan of the sheet pile construction.
• the driving system: impact hammering, vibratory driving or pressing.
