Steel Sheet & Plate & Steel Sheet Pile,SP-IV、SP-IVw、U140
Steel Sheet Pile Product Specification
Steel sheet piles are section steel with interlocking latches on edges. They connect end to end via latches to form continuous steel walls for earth retaining, water blocking and anti-seepage. Widely used in temporary support and permanent hydraulic structures, featuring high strength, excellent water tightness and reusable performance.
1. Product Classification
1.1 By Manufacturing Process
Hot-rolled Steel Sheet PileFormed by one-step high-temperature rolling with regular cross-section, precise latches and high yield strength (≥355MPa). Superior sealing and durability, suitable for deep foundation pits, high-water-pressure projects and permanent construction as mainstream product.
Cold-formed Steel Sheet PileRolled from 8–14mm thin steel strips on cold bending units. Flexible customized length and lower cost, around 15%–20% lighter per unit weight than hot-rolled items. Inferior latch tightness and prone to crack, mainly applied to shallow temporary foundation pits and municipal pipe gallery projects.
1.2 By Cross-section Shape
U-type (Larssen Type)Most common specification with favorable lateral rigidity and bending resistance plus tight water-proof latches. Standard effective width: 400–600mm, section modulus: 600–2500cm³/m, ideal for dock construction, deep foundation pits and cofferdams.
Z-typeHigh section modulus, effective width 600–800mm for fast installation, section modulus 2000–6000cm³/m. Designed for large-scale wharves and deep foundation pits under high earth pressure.
Flat Web TypeFlat profile for easy driving and good water resistance yet low bending rigidity, used for shallow foundation pits on favorable soil conditions.

4. Product Advantages
High Strength & Rigidity: Hot rolled grade yield strength ≥355MPa to bear high lateral pressure for deep foundation and heavy-load projects.
Excellent Water Stop Performance: Closely interlocked latches achieve zero leakage with sealing strips, perfect for high underground water level and soft soil ground.
High Construction Efficiency: Installed rapidly by vibratory hammer with daily installation up to 120m, 40% faster than traditional support, adaptable to limited working space.
Reusable Property: Long service life up to 50 years, recyclable for 5–8 times with proper maintenance to lower comprehensive project cost.
Cost-effective & Eco-friendly: Less noise and soil excavation during construction, saving auxiliary waterproof and supporting expenditure.
5. Application Scope
5.1 Permanent Works
Port & Wharf: Bulkhead, revetment wall, dock and gate structure
Hydraulic Engineering: River bank protection, breakwater, diversion dike and retaining wall
5.2 Temporary Works
Building Construction: Deep basement & underground parking foundation pit support
Bridge Engineering: Pier construction cofferdam for soil & water containment
Municipal Works: Trench & pipe gallery excavation support, temporary river closure
