Arrangement of multiple sheet pile components and welding profile therefor

A pair of profile connectors with constant cross section viewed longitudinally used in an elongate sheet pile connecting element to connect two sheet pile wall members in a sheet pile wall assembly, the profile connectors comprising:

• a first profile connector in the elongate sheet pile connecting element comprising a first elongate connection member having
• (1) a first base end configured to be welded to a first sheet pile wall member,
• (2) a first elongated neck strip having a length extending from the first base end along a predetermined main assembly direction (X) to a first opposite end which is greater than its width, and
• (3) a head strip having a width which is greater than the width of the neck strip provided on the first opposite end of the first elongated neck strip for engagement with a claw strip partially surrounding the head strip;
• and
• a second profile connector in the elongate sheet pile connecting element comprising a second elongate connection member having
• (1) a second base end configured to be welded to a second sheet pile wall member,
• (2) a second elongated neck strip having a length, extending from the second base end along the predetermined main assembly direction (X) to a second opposite end, which is greater than its width, and
• (3) a claw strip provided on the second opposite end of the second elongated neck strip for engagement to secure a head strip.

A sheet pile wall assembly comprising:

• (a) a plurality of supporting, elongate beam piles with their longitudinal axes arranged substantially in parallel and disposed along a common horizontal line, and
• (b) a plurality of elongate connecting elements arranged parallel to, and welded to, said beam piles, said elongate connecting elements being formed of two profile connectors with a substantially constant cross section viewed longitudinally,
• wherein a first profile connector in an elongate connecting element comprises an integrally formed connecting member having
• (1) a first base end configured to be welded to a respective beam pile,
• (2) a first elongated neck strip extending from the first base end along a predetermined main assembly direction (X) to a first opposite end, and
• (3) a first head strip of greater cross section than the first elongated neck strip provided on the first opposite end of the first elongated neck strip for engagement with a claw strip partially surrounding the head strip,
• wherein a second profile connector in an elongate connecting element comprises an integrally formed connecting member having
• (1) a second base end configured to be welded to a respective beam pile,
• (2) a second elongated neck strip having a length extending from the second base end along a predetermined main assembly direction (X) to a second opposite end, which is greater than its width, and
• (3) a claw strip provided at the second opposite end to secure a head strip, and wherein the head strip of the first profile connector possesses an oval or round cross section, the claw strip of the second connecting profile forms a lock chamber to receive the head strip, and the jaw of the lock chamber and the lock chamber itself are of such dimensions that, when the head strip is engaged with the claw strip, the head strip and the claw strip may be pivoted about the main assembly direction (X).
