Abstract
A method of forming a sheet pile wall comprising cold reforming a Z-shape pile or a U-shape pile and connecting a plurality of reformed steel piles so as to form a sheet pile wall having at least one engagement section, the engagement section when viewed in a cross section being a recess that has a narrowed neck portion.
Claims18
A method of forming a sheet pile wall, comprising:
- taking a plurality of Z-shape piles or U-shape piles, the Z-shape pile comprising two flanges and a web with an angle between the web and each of the flanges of the Z-shape pile being greater than 90° and the U-shape pile comprising two webs and a flange with an angle between each of the webs and the flange of the U-shape pile being greater than 90°;
- cold reforming the Z-shape piles to decrease the angle between the web and flanges of the Z-shape pile to less than 90° or cold reforming the U-shape piles to the decrease the angle between the webs and the flange to less than 90° thereby forming reformed steel piles;
- and
- connecting a plurality of the reformed steel piles so as to form the sheet pile wall having at least one engagement section, the engagement section when viewed in a cross section being a recess that has a narrowed neck portion.

A method of forming a sheet pile wall, comprising:
- taking a plurality of Z-shape piles or U-shape piles, the Z-shape pile comprising two flanges, each flange having a first end and a second end, and a web having a first end and a second end and the U-shape pile comprising two webs, each web having a first end and a second end, and a flange having a first end and a second end;
- cold reforming the Z-shape piles such that at least a portion of the web extends away from a linear vector extending from the first end to the second end of the web or cold reforming the U-shape piles such that at least a portion of the flange extends away from a linear vector extending from the first end to the second end of the flange thereby forming reformed steel piles;
- and
- connecting a plurality of the reformed steel piles so as to form the sheet pile wall having at least one engagement section, the engagement section when viewed in a cross section being a recess that has a narrowed neck portion.
