Z-Pile HR® | Z-Pile CF®
Z-type sheet piles are the most efficient type of sheet pile in use today. Our Z-Pile systems feature interlocks strategically positioned at a considerable distance from the neutral axis, optimizing shear transmission and enhancing the strength-to-weight ratio. Z-profile sheet pile is predominantly used in retaining walls, floodwalls, parking garages, containment walls, cofferdams, bulkhead walls for ports, and fortifying dams.
Overview
THE Z-PILE:HR® SYSTEM FEATURES an enhanced strength with flexible design.
AN INCREASED WIDTH PER PANEL AND LOWER WEIGHT PER SQUARE FOOT OR METER OF WALL COMPARED TO ALTERNATIVE TRADITIONAL Z-SHAPED SHEET PILE DESIGNED TO DRIVEN IN PAIRS.
Our Z-Pile:HR® is hot rolled sheet pile system with interlocks strategically positioned at a considerable distance from the neutral axis. This placement optimizes shear transmission and enhances the strength-to-weight ratio of the system. Z-profile sheet pile is predominantly used in retaining walls and floodwalls, as they are strong enough to help reinforce structures that must withstand constant pressure from one or both sides. They can also be used to create containment barriers for tighter, more specific protection. They are also used in parking garages, containment walls, cofferdams, bulkhead walls for ports, and fortifying dams.
The Z-Pile:HR® sheet pile system features an increased width per panel compared to alternative Z-shaped sheet pile designs. This enhanced geometry results in an efficiency ratio (determined by dividing the section modulus by the weight) that substantially exceeds that of most of not all older Larssen sheet pile sections. Our Z-Pile offerings are available in various configurations to meet your specific requirements, complete with integrated connectors, enabling the construction of diverse geometries in the most efficient manner possible. The Z-Pile:HR® can be installed via a crane and vibration hammer which is same manner most z sheet pile have been installed for decades. Our ability to offer wider and lighter sheet pile configurations translates to quicker, more competitive, and value-driven solutions for our clients.
Key features include:
- Install the same way as a traditional Paired Z - sheet pile such as the AZ 18 or NZ 42
- Flexible design
- Enhanced strength to weight ratio
- Increased width per panel compared to alternative Z-shaped sheet piles, increasing the efficiency ratio

Installation
Z-Pile HR® and Z-Pile CF® are typically installed via crane and vibration hammer which is the same manner as most traditional paired Z sheet pile, such as the AZ 18, NZ 42, PZC 18 and ZZ 26. Please let us know about your specific job criteria and we can put you in touch with equipment professionals who can assist you.
Please be aware that should you have significant debris, boulder or facing difficult soil conditions with rock or clay you may want to consider using an O-Pile® DTH system which can be drilled in vertically any soil condition. Please contact us if you are unsure if a Z-Pile HR® would be appropriate given the soil parameters.
