Cantilever sheet pile, with their optimum distribution of material, are the most efficient sheet piling sections available for bending strength. With the interlocks located on the outer fibers of the wall — rather than at the center line, as is the case with Arch or U-Profile sheet piling sections – the wall designer is assured of the published section modulus. The cantilever sheet pile is the optimal section for weight and strength, coupled with driveability.
In projects across the globe, cantilever sheet pile has been effectively utilized for a wide range of projects, including:
Retaining walls
River cofferdams
Braced excavations
Tied bulkheads
Bridge abutments
Cut-off walls
Foundations
Levee construction
