Fiber reinforced polymer sheet piling may also be manufactured of a synthetic fiber reinforced polymer frp.
Frp sheet pile wall.
The pultruded frp wale section was specifically designed to replace wood steel and concrete for applications where the environmental considerations require a high strength frp wale section that will not rot rust spall or succumb to marine borers.
This type of sheet pile is also referred to as fiberglass or composite sheet pile.
Where environmental considerations require a sheet pile wall structure that will not rot decay rust or spall frp composite is the material of choice.
Frp sheet piles introduction fiberglass composite piles include round octagonal pipes and sheet piles.
Suitable joints can be provided to have a continuous wall.
Traditional pile materials are steel and aluminum.
Typical section of the rcc sheet pile is shown in figure below.
Round octagonal pipes general diameters are from 8 to 14 the length can be 4ft 20ft even 30ft.
Superwale eliminates the need for timber steel or concrete wale sections.
Superwale sheet pile retaining wall.
Frp composite sheet piles are among the strongest and most durable synthetic piling products in the world.
These piles are relatively heavy and bulky.
Reinforced concrete sheet piles are precast concrete members usually with a tongue and groove joints.
