Non ferrous sheet piles include Vinyl sheet piles, Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) sheet piles and Aluminium sheet piles. They are lightweight, chemical and corrosion resistant, with hydraulic performance to prevent seepage.
Corner sections can provide the required change in wall direction that cannot be accommodated by the rotation of sheet pile interlock without the need for fabricated special piles. These are lightweight, efficient sections.
Straight web sheet piles perform differently to other sheet pile profiles. Straight web sheet piles are formed in circles and arcs to create self supporting mass gravity structures.
