Sheet piles are widely used as temporary and permanent earth retaining systems for building platforms, stabilization of slopes, road embankments and riverbanks, and shoring walls of trenches. These embedded sheet pile walls are commonly employed for restricted site conditions, especially for wall alignment along the lot boundaries, and where open excavation is not permitted. They are also well suited to poor soil conditions, providing a cost effective alternative to replace other retaining wall systems supported on expensive piled foundations.
