Introduction

Cold formed sheet piles (PAZ, PAL and PAU Sections) from Arcelor widen the range of existing range by offering a greater variety of sections, with sheet piles available in 3 - 9 mm thick sheet steel sections. The strcutural and dimensional properties of the sections cover a very wide range of system widths, section moduli and mass.
Development of these families has led to a natural adaptation of their interlocks. In addition to the small, medium and large size interlocks suited to their respective sections, the PAZ 44 sections incorporating intermediate size interlocks are offered.

This feature contributes to the improved modulus/weight ratio of these sections. Reputed for their quality of fabrication, cold formed sheet piles are essentially used in the structural protections of banks from erosion and collapse.

In addition to this, they are also recommended for retaining walls of medium height. They may also be suitable for sheet pile cut off or confinement walls at polluted sites (with sheet piles interlocks filled with a bituminous product prior to driving.) As they are also used in the construction of noise barriers, sheet piles provide the possibilty of fixing a sound absorbent facing to the front of the sheet piles.
