1. Product Overview
Steel Sheet Pile is special engineering section steel with continuous interlocking locks on both sides. Adjacent piles interlock tightly to form a continuous impermeable retaining & water barrier wall. It is divided into two main categories: Hot Rolled Steel Sheet Pile and Cold Formed Steel Sheet Pile, complying with national standards GB/T 20933-2021 Hot Rolled Steel Sheet Piles and JG/T 196-2018 Steel Sheet Piles.
It integrates high strength, superior water tightness and reusable recyclability. Construction requires minimal earth excavation with small occupation area and short construction period. Widely applied in municipal deep foundation pits, water conservancy cofferdams, port docks, river flood control, bridge caps, underground pipe galleries and temporary marine structures, serving as core retaining material for geotechnical, hydraulic and marine engineering.
Water & Soil Retaining Working Principle
Integrated precision locks on both sides interlock continuously to form closed anti-seepage walls. Lock gaps can be filled with water stop paste or bentonite to achieve zero leakage against underground, river and seawater high water head erosion. The integral section features high bending stiffness, usable alone or combined with H-beams for composite support to resist lateral soil and water pressure. After construction, piles can be pulled out by vibratory hammers for repeated recycling, greatly cutting overall project cost.
2. Product Classification, Section Types & Application Scenarios
(1) By Manufacturing Process
Hot Rolled Steel Sheet Pile (HRSP, Mainstream for Large Projects)Formed by hot rolling heated steel billets, featuring dense metallographic structure, high lock interlocking precision, large section modulus, strong bending resistance, seawater corrosion resistance and long service life. Suitable for deep cofferdams over 10m, deep foundation pits, permanent quay walls and marine engineering, reusable multiple times.Sections: U-type (Larsen Type Ⅲ/Ⅳ), Z-type, straight web type
Cold Formed Steel Sheet Pile (CRSP)Roll-formed from steel strips at ambient temperature, thin wall, low cost and flexible sizes. Inferior lock tightness compared to hot rolled piles, only for shallow foundation pits, short-term temporary cofferdams and small farmland hydraulic projects.Sections: U-type, Z-type, hat type
(2) Main Section Profiles
U-Type Steel Sheet Pile (Larsen Pile, Highest Market Demand)Symmetrical U cross-section with locks on both webs, easy lifting, driving and extraction. Standard models: SP-Ⅲ, SP-Ⅳ, 400×125, 600×180Application: Conventional foundation pits 8–12m deep, river cofferdams, bridge caps, metro trenches
Z-Type Steel Sheet PileLocks arranged on outer flanges, higher section modulus and stronger bending capacity with equal steel consumption, ideal for ultra-deep foundation pits, deep-water docks and large flood dykes. Wider effective width reduces total pile quantity.
Straight Web Steel Sheet PileFlat cross-section with primary water stop function and weak bending resistance, used for anti-seepage partitions, temporary water barriers and impermeable curtains.

5. Complete Production Process of Hot Rolled Steel Sheet Pile
Steel billet inspection → High-temperature heating in walking beam furnace → Multi-pass universal hot rolling → Precision lock forming → Laminar cooling → Straightening to correct torsion & camber → Fixed-length flame cutting → End grinding & cleaning → Full appearance & dimensional inspection → Batch sampling for physical & chemical tests → Marking of model, heat number and grade → Steel strapping, stacked with wooden spacers and warehousing
6. Mandatory Batch Inspection Standards (Sampling Test Per Heat Batch)

Tensile test: Yield strength, tensile strength, elongation after fracture to match lateral load design of foundation pits
Charpy V-notch impact test at 0℃ / -20℃ (for low-temperature grades Q355C and above) to prevent brittle fracture during winter construction
180° cold bend test: No cracks or lamination on locks and webs to avoid deformation during pile driving
Spectrochemical analysis: Strict control over harmful impurities S and P to improve lock welding and anti-corrosion performance
Section modulus & moment of inertia test to meet mechanical calculation requirements of retaining structures
