Sheet Piling for Flood Areas

As natural flood defenses are seldom adequate, various civil engineering measures such as dike building, bank reinforcement, protective walls, water retention basins and dike and bank raising are used.

Here, steel sheet piling offers an efficient and costeffective solution because it can be installed quickly and easily in both, existing and new dikes to stabilize
and seal the dike and increase its load-bearing capacity. Depending on landscaping goals, the sheet piling can be installed either invisibly or as a visible dike raising solution. 

The visible parts of the pile wall can be enhanced through; Painting, Brick facing, Natural stone facing, Cladding with various materials and Greening.

Benefits of the System:

• Cost-effective, practical and durable
• Sections perform waterproofing, load discharging and stabilizing functions
• The sheet piling cannot be penetrated by animals or tree roots
• Sheet pile interlocks can be sealed using the HOESCH lip seal made of plastic
• Prevents dike seepage and erosion
• Less sensitive to corrosion
• All the sealing systems we recommend are groundwater-neutral and ecologically safe.
• As 100% steel products they are particularly environment-friendly as they can be removed without residues and are fully recyclable
