Overview of Steel Sheet Piles
Steel sheet piles are the most common types of sheet piles used. Modern steel sheet piles comes in many shapes such as Z sheet piles, U sheet piles, or straight piles. The sheet piles are interconnected with a male to female joint. At corners, special junction joints are utilized to connect one sheet pile wall line to the next.

Hot Rolled Sheet Piles
Hot Rolled Sheet Piles are formed by profiling the steel with high temperatures as the rolling process occurs. Typically, hot rolled sheet piles are produced to BS EN 10248 Part 1 & 2. Greater thicknesses are achievable than cold rolled sheet piles. The interlocking clutch tends to be tighter as well.
Cold Formed & Cold Rolled Sheet Piles
Cold Rolling and Forming processes are when the steel sheet pile is profiled at room temperature. The profile thickness is constant along the width of the profile. Typically, cold rolled/formed sheet piles are produced to BS EN 10249 Part 1 & 2. Cold Rolling occurs in a continuous section from hot rolled coil whereas Cold Forming occurs is discrete lengths either from decoiled hot rolled coil or plate. A wide range of widths and depths are achievable.
