What is sheet piling?

Sheet piling refers to a construction technique where large sheets, usually made of steel, are driven into the ground to form a continuous barrier. This method is commonly used for earth retention and excavation support, such as retaining walls, seawalls, and cofferdams. The interlocking sheets provide stability and prevent soil or water from entering the excavation area, making it essential for construction projects near water or in loose soils. Sheet piling can be temporary or permanent, depending on the project requirements.
