Efficiency At Its Best

Z-type sheet piles are the most efficient type of sheet pile in use. Z-Pile HR is a Larssen 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-type 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.

 

Sheet Pile LLC’s Z-Pile 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 other sheet pile configurations. 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.  Additionally, our Z-Pile can be installed either as single sheets or in pairs, allowing for more flexibility in construction. Our ability to offer wider and lighter sheet pile options translates to quicker, more competitive, and value-driven solutions for our clients.
