EPD: Hot-rolled steel sheet piling, 7850 kg/m3, types of steel sheet piling: Z, U, straight-web, H (ArcelorMittal)

Steel sheet piling are rolled steel profiles with longitudinal clutches at each side. Sheet piles can be connected to each other through these clutches creating a mechanical connection (i.e. interlock) between the profiles allowing continuous wall construction. This EPD applies to 1 ton of steel sheet piling. The types of steel sheet piling are: Z-shaped, U-shaped, straight-web, and H-shaped. Sheet pile walls resist to high pressure and can support massive height of soil with a small quantity of steel compared to the applied loads. Steel piling products are used worldwide in many kinds of permanent or temporary structures: quay walls and breakwaters in harbors and locks, bank reinforcement on rivers and canals, pumping stations, bridge abutments, retaining walls for underpasses or underground car parks, impervious containment walls, temporary cofferdams in land and in water, containment barriers, and load bearing foundations, among others.
