Below are a selection of example projects that showcase the use of Sheet Pile LLC products. We are happy to share more detailed specs upon request.
Projects
PROJECT 1
Virginia US DOT Chespeake Bay & Tunnel
O-PILE INSTALLED THROUGH ROCK JETTY
See enclosed project specifications here. You can also see how a Combined King Pile system was replaced by an O-Pile 102-978. For further information, see full project description here and Wikipedia page here.
THE PROJECT
The Parallel Thimble Shoal Tunnel Project will construct a new two-lane tunnel under Thimble Shoal Channel. When complete, the new tunnel will carry two lanes of traffic southbound and the existing tunnel will carry two lanes of traffic northbound.
Construction Start (estimate): October 1, 2017
Construction Completion (estimate): 2024
THE CHALLENGE
Install a sheet pile wall in pure rock
THE SOLUTION
It is Mott MacDonald’s opinion that the 36-inch diameter O-Pile offers substantial improvement for movement control with very little additional steel over the length of the SOE walls, and as such we recommend a 36-inch O-Pile solution be deployed.
PROJECT 2
Maryland US DOT - 100% Melted & Manufactured in the USA
BUILT WITH LOCAL STEEL HATEM MEMORIAL BRIDGE IN NORTHEAST MARYLAND
O-Pile cofferdams at the Hatem Memorial Bridge were driven into 90 ft of water and down to lengths of 131 ft.The O-Pile sections were spliced, at site, due to the length and lack of headroom under the existing bridge, many 9 foot sections were installed and butt welded to create a full length O-Pile.
The high bending strength and stiffness of a continuous pipe sheet pile system was preferred over other options to resist over 90 feet of water pressure and form a safe a excavation for the contractor.
WOM/WOF connectors, used with the O-Pile, provided the highest degree of tension and bending strength available to secure the pipe to pipe connection and ensure pile integrity after hard driving.
PROJECT 3
New York DOT: O-Pile DTH
BUILT WITH LOCAL STEEL GOWANUS CANAL
PROJECT 4
High-Capacity Highway Barrier
HIGHWAY UNDERPASS & JUNCTION
PROJECT 5
Highway Protection
SELF-ANCHORED SOIL BARRIER
PROJECT 6
Drilling In Solid Rock With O-Pile
SELF-ANCHORED SOIL BARRIER
Repair work of a submerged weir at the downstream side of a dam diameter：φ457.2mm t12.0mm pile length：15.0m pile depth：5.3m number：55 O-Pile was used instead of the z or u sheet pile due to a collapsed part of submerged weir at the downstream side of the dam body in the repair work after the heavy rain in Fukushima because cost and time reduction is needed for the expansion tendency owing to the hardness of bedrock and necessity of the two-steps process (sand replacement with hard (UCS = 50 N/mm2) rock excavation and installation) and excessive expansion of steel stage.
PROJECT 8
US Navy Marine Bulkhead
NAVAL BASE
US NAVY: Point Loma, California: A sea wall bulkhead constructed with the patented O-Pile system made watertight with WADIT sealant.

PROJECT 9
Driving In Difficult Conditions
INSTEAD OF A COMBINED SHEET PILE WALL
This is the first O-Pile system installed in pure rock layers. When the original heavy H sheet pile combined wall system was not able to be driven in this hard conditions the contractor/engineer had to look for other options, they found us. It was a very success job, please call us for further details on the O-PIle (DTH) down the hole drilling system.
Please see video of the O-Pile with x 70 pipe and wof/wom connectors with WADIT sealant installed in a bulkhead.
Manila North Harbour Port: The below video is showing the continuation of a container port where O-pile is being used in the current section replacing the prior use of an H-sheet pile complicated combined wall imported across the world from Luxembourg. Using locally sourced pipe the job can be completed quicker and more efficiently than previous segments of the facility.
PROJECT 7
Disaster Relief At Fukashima
EMERGENCY USE
PROJECT 10
Port Construction
CONTAINER TERMINAL - REPLACING AN H-SHEET PILE COMBINED WALL
That project featured the first use of spiral welded pipes on a USACE job with 54” diameter pipe: 54”OD x .875” wall thickness featuring O-Pile system with WOF/WOM Connectors in 140′ in length and a total of 172 O-Pile King sections. Domestic readily available pipes were used to speed up the project delivery time.
The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway West Closure Complex is a part of the New Orleans Drainage System; it consists of a navigable floodgate, a pumping station, flood walls, sluice gates, foreshore protection, and an earthen levee. The complex was designed to reduce risk for residences and businesses in the project area from a storm surge associated with a tropical event, with an intensity that has a one percent chance of occurring in any given year. This project was operated for the first time on August 29, 2012, in response to Hurricane Isaac.[1]
