Applications for steel sheet piles.

Functions and aesthetics.

Steel sheet piles are high-tech products that can perform a huge variety of finely graduated
functions, and also satisfy even the highest architectural demands. Good reasons for their
popularity in many branches of the building industry.

Hot-rolled pile sections Applications in construction

The manufacture of hot-rolled pile sections involves heating the
basic material to more than 1200C and carrying out further Hydraulic engineering
processing operations. Heating results in a higher plasticity, which Ports
makes them easier to form. The main advantage is that various Quay walls
cross-sectional forms are possible. Dock structures

30 Heavy-duty wall sections

Welded structures.

Our plants have been fabricating welded structures from steel piles for many decades. All our sheet
piling steel grades are suitable for arc welding in compliance with general welding regulations.

Foundation piles, dolphins plus fittings, box piles, structural piles
such as corner and junction piles, piles with impact strengthening,
piles with interlocks sealed by welding and custom piles to suit
special requirements are all fabricated to proven quality standards.
Our plants conform to DIN 18800 Part 7 (changeover to DIN EN
1090 Part 1) and hence comply with all the requirements that
must be met by modern welding operations. General and specific
quality assurance procedures, e.g. non-destructive weld seam
testing, are carried out by an independent institute according to
German or, if required, international regulations.

Cold-rolled sheet piling sections.

Safe. Economical. Dependable.

We can supply a range of trench sheeting and lightweight sections to suit the market directly
from our own production via our cold-rolling mill in Dessau. The acquisition of the Krings company
in Heinsberg has allowed us to optimise our product portfolio even further by adding top-hat
(HP) and Z-sections (ZK).

As a supplier of services to the construction industry, we ensure solutions that are cost-effective
and tailored to your project. Solutions that are characterised by fast, on-time deliveries and
trouble-free procedures.

Trench sheeting
Trench sheets are used for the reliable shoring of trenches, shafts
and excavations. Such sections are used when sealed interlocks
are not necessary. To suit the conditions of driving and the typical
applications, the form that has become established for trench
sheets is one that is highly stable and suitable for repeated use.
Their special shape makes them easy to install and stack.

These high-quality sections are produced in our cold-rolling mill

and are stocked in lengths of up to 8 m. Longer lengths can be
rolled on request.

Lightweight sections
Lightweight sections are mainly used for trench shoring in inner-
city applications, for protecting banks and upgrading dykes. The
interlock of the lightweight section serves as a reliable hook in such
applications. The sections are manufactured in lengths of up to
17 m. For structures requiring greater watertightness, e.g. flood
protection, we can supply the sections with an interlock filling
made from a durable, pliable bitumen compound. It is also possible
to fit a profiled TK HOESCH sealing system into the interlocks of the
lightweight sections.

The sections undergo material testing and quality inspections in

accordance with DIN standards and guarantee safety and reliability
combined with optimum drivability.

Sheet piling as sealing system.

Reliable sealing for landfill and
legacy pollution, too.

Our steel sheet piling has proved to be highly effective in terms of both its structural and sealing
properties. We use sealing systems very successfully in excavations as well as hydraulic and port
engineering projects. In addition, those systems can be used in landfill and for containing legacy
pollution. Whether as stand-alone solution or additional sealing component in various wall systems,
production in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 plus sheet pilings special mode of construction
limits the transport of pollutants through the interlock.

One special aspect of unsealed steel sheet piling is that water and Applications for TK HOESCH interlock sealing system and
other substances can initially pass through the interlocks. However, bitumen-based interlock sealants:
this applies for a short time only because the interlocks of the sheet
piling include several bends and therefore have a relatively long The TK HOESCH interlock sealing system is primarily used for

this quickly leads to the seepage path becoming blocked and hence
to a self-sealing effect. Bitumen-based interlock sealants are preferred for temporary
works (e.g. excavations) where the maximum hydrostatic pressure
In soils with a very low proportion of fine particles, and especially does not exceed 100 kPa.
where high imperviousness is required, special interlock seals
can be used. Depending on the level of imperviousness required,
in addition to welding the interlocks, various sealing systems are
available, e.g. TK HOESCH interlock sealing system (DBP 44 27561;
EP 0 695 832), which is also particularly suitable for aggressive
media in contaminated soils, for instance. For temporary works
in which the sheet piling is to be used more than once, bitumen-
based interlock sealants have proved worthwhile.

General remarks on soil properties.

The soil: the foundation for every design.

A reliable sealing effect is always the result of the interaction between the sealing system
and the soil properties. As the latter can vary from one site to the next, they must be taken
into account when planning pile driving.

The water permeability of a soil type depends on many factors,

including the sizes of the soil particles, their structure and the
compactness of the stratum. As the proportion of fine particles
increases, so the permeability decreases. The permeability is
indicated by the k-value (see table below).

To suit the demands of construction projects, civil engineers

have a number of options at their disposal for reducing the
permeability of a soil, either temporarily or permanently.
The three main methods are as follows:

a) Displacing the existing soil and installing a sealing material

b) Excavating the existing soil and installing a sealing material
c) Reducing the permeability of the existing soil

Whether merely a sealing effect is to be achieved or loads are to

be carried in the horizontal or vertical directions must be established
at the design stage. Besides the structural and installation
requirements, it is also important to specify the admissible per-
meability exactly according to the German Construction Contract
Procedures (VOB) Part C General technical specifications in
construction contracts (ATV) Piling DIN 18304 section 0.2.10
or DIN EN 12063 section 11.
Landfill site, Asslar
Special care should be taken to ensure that the requirements
regarding imperviousness are specified in the tender documents
as follows: maximum permissible quantity of water per unit of
time and wetted wall area in m2 for a given hydrostatic pressure.
Imprecise expressions such as approximately watertight can
lead to undesirable, unscheduled works.

Permeability coefficient k

Type of soil k Classification

(m/s)

Clay; loam < 10 8 very low permeability

Silt; loamy, silty sand 10 8 to 10 6 low permeability
Fine sand; medium sand 10 6 to 10 4 moderate permeability
Coarse sand; medium gravel; fine gravel 10 4 to 10 2 high permeability
Coarse gravel > 10 2 very high permeability

Soils are classified into five permeability ranges for construction purposes.

The k-value defines the calculated form of a physical velocity at which water at a temperature of 10C and with a hydraulic gradient of i = 1 flows into a soil sample fitted in a test rig.
The calculation of k-values for various soil types is governed by DIN 18130. The theory is based on Darcys law.

TK HOESCH interlock sealing system
(DBP 44 27561; EP 0 695 832).
Two lines of defence.
The TK HOESCH interlock sealing system is protected by patents and is resistant
to the typical substances and fluids encountered in landfill and legacy pollution.
It has two lip seals, which gives it two dependable lines of defence.
The TK HOESCH interlock sealing system is installed in the pile
interlocks at the works. It consists of a profiled seal in the threading
interlock plus, for double piles, an injected seal in the middle inter-
lock that adapts perfectly to the interlock slot. A primer ensures
dependable adhesion and prevents rust forming underneath.
The seal in the threading interlock is designed in such a way that
restoring forces are activated in the sealing material during pile
driving which then seal off the interlock slot in the areas required
(compression sealing). Providing two lip seals in the interlock
ensures that the sealing system has two lines of defence. The
driving interlock into which the next pile with its profiled seal
is threaded is fabricated with a bevel to ease the threading
process. The direction of driving must be specified in advance
and adhered to.
Material properties
The sealant is made from polyurethane, which remains per-
manently elastic and resists ageing and weathering. In addition,
polyurethane is also resistant to water, seawater, normal waste
water, mineral oils and numerous acids and caustic solutions.
On request we can supply appropriate test certificates for
environmental compatibility.

Driving advice
Pile sections fitted with the TK HOESCH interlock sealing system
should preferably be impact driven. However, vibratory methods
can be used in certain circumstances provided the soil is suitable
for such methods. The pile section should be driven continuously
into the ground, although penetration rates slower than 20 seconds
per metre are not permitted. If the penetration rate is less than
this or driving comes to a standstill, impact driving should be used
for the remainder of the installation. Cooling the threading interlock
seal with water during vibratory driving has proved useful.
The suitability of interlock seals for pressing methods should be
checked with ThyssenKrupp Bautechnik prior to driving. During
the winter, care should be taken to ensure that the pile temperature
does not drop below 5C because the formation of ice crystals in
the threading interlocks can damage profiled seals. Sealed interlocks
must be kept free from ice and snow.
Seal lubrication
Interlock seals must be coated with GM lubricant prior to driving.
The lubricant is to be brushed evenly over the full length of
the profiled seal (approx. 100 g per metre of seal). Owing to its
biodegradability, GM lubricant is also suitable for use in areas
from which drinking water is sourced. The lubricant is water-
resistant, remains stable down to a temperature of 5C and
has good adhesive properties

Any corrective measures applied may not cause any narrowing
of any interlock slots containing profiled seals. DIN EN 12063 and
EAU (Recommendations of Committee for Waterfront Structures,
Harbours & Waterways) R 118 contain useful advice.
Driving direction
When installing sections with sealed interlocks, the direction of
driving must be specified prior to starting work. When pitching
double piles on site, make sure that the free interlock is driven first
and the interlock with the seal is threaded into this.
For threading, the pile must be turned so that the unsealed inter-
lock points in the direction of driving. The side with the sealant is
to be indicated by a coloured dot at the top of the pile. Sheet piling
should normally be driven continuously. However, a staggered
installation is also possible. The method used should be chosen
on the basis of the overall driving conditions.

Bitumen-based interlock sealants.

Watertight and environmentally compatible.

Bituminous materials can be used to reduce the permeability of the interlocks substantially.
Two options are available, their use depending on the type of driving: SIRO 88 and a bitumen
compound. Both materials can be applied in the factory or on site.

The hot-poured bitumen SIRO 88 sealant has proved ideal for
vibratory driving. A bituminous compound is recommended for
impact driving. When factory-applied, both systems consist of a
paste-like sealant in the driving interlock and a poured sealant in
the factory-threaded middle interlock. Since the materials adhere
well to the steel surface, it is not necessary to apply a primer to
the interlocks beforehand. Certificates declaring the environmental
compatibility of these sealants are available.
Direction of driving
The direction of driving must be specified prior to installation
when sealed interlocks are involved. For threading, the pile must
be turned so that the sealed interlock points in the direction
of driving.

Material properties of SIRO 88

SIRO 88 is a hot-poured elastomeric bitumen sealant. After
application and cooling, this material may be anything from soft
to stiff depending on the ambient temperature. It adheres well
to the steel surface.
Bitumen sealing compound
The sealant used for filling and sealing the interlocks of steel sheet
piling is a pliable bitumen compound. It is a one-part material, is
enhanced with synthetic additives and exhibits excellent adhesion
in the interlock, and even withstands the acceleration forces of
the driving process. It retains its pliability even at low temperatures
and so can be applied on site down to temperatures of 20C. A
study by the Gelsenkirchen Hygiene Institute has discovered that
the bitumen compound and SIRO 88 can also be used as lubricants
and sealants in sheet piling interlocks in areas in which drinking
water is sourced.

Tailored solutions.

Other sealing and installation methods may be necessary depending on the require-
ments of the particular project. It is therefore essential to investigate and establish
the methods to be used in advance.

The following, additional, sealing methods are available for inter-
locks that must be sealed after driving:

be sealed subsequently, e.g. with timber wedges (swelling
effect), rubber or plastic cords.
If total watertightness is required, welding the interlocks is the
only solution. As a rule, this concerns the threading interlocks
only because factory-threaded interlocks can be welded prior
to driving. It is important to note that the interlock can only be
welded when the surfaces are dry and clean. The weld seam
must be applied to the side of the sheet piling that faces the
base of the structure to be erected. Open interlocks can be
covered with, for instance, steel flats or steel sections attached
to the sheet piling with fillet welds.
Effect of high temperatures
Welding carried out near seals or sealants can be expected to have
an adverse, local effect on these materials. If subsequent welding
Flame-cutting
If sheet piles fitted with the TK HOESCH interlock sealing system
have to be cut or straightened on site with flame-cutting equip-
ment, the interlock of the driven pile must be bevelled by grinding
before pitching the next sheet pile. Otherwise the sealing can be
damaged during the threading procedure. It is also necessary to
check whether a bituminous sealant is flammable. Such a sealant
must be cooled with water if necessary. Suitable fire extinguishers
must be available on the building site.
> Please refer to the information on site operations on p. 43.

Pitching the piles

Owing to increased interlock friction, sheet pile sections cannot
reach their full embedment depth as a result of their self-weight
alone. Therefore, suitable driving equipment must be available on
the site. We can supply a specially fabricated starter weight that
is used in conjunction with a carrier and free-fall equipment.

A double pile (600 series) with Wy 1100 cm3 /m is selected for
economic reasons. Its imperviousness therefore compares with that
of a 60 cm thick diaphragm wall with a k-value of 9.0 . 10 11 m/s,
or for an 80 cm thick diaphragm wall a k-value of 1.2 . 10 10 m/s.
On account of its being thinner, a slurry wall must exhibit a k-value
of 1.2 . 10 11 m/s in order to achieve the imperviousness of the
sheet piling solution.
Resistance criteria
When selecting a suitable interlock sealing system to surround a
contaminated site, resistance to the pollutants involved is just as
important as the imperviousness. Conventional bituminous inter-
lock sealants are not resistant to pollutants such as aliphatic and
aromatic solvents, oils or mineral oils. However, the TK HOESCH
interlock sealing system has been proved to be resistant to these
pollutants.

expected and the design life (see also DIN EN ISO 12944).
Owing to the high loads to which steel sheet piling is usually
exposed, epoxy resin or polyurethane coatings are normally used.
Such coatings are also compatible with the TK HOESCH interlock
sealing system.
These systems are highly stable and so the complete coating
system can be factory-applied because with proper handling,
damage during transport and installation is unlikely. However,
factory-coating is also recommended for environmental reasons
because it avoids the problems of blast-cleaning and spraying
on the building site. To prevent rust stains on the coated sections,
any existing interlock gaps must be grouted on site. Coating inter-

locks filled with bitumen-based materials is not recommended
because some of the material can be forced out of the interlocks
during threading, which soils the sheet piling. Subsequent cleaning
of these areas is complicated and expensive.
Hot-dip galvanising
Hot-dip galvanising is another method of corrosion protection and
is also compatible with the TK HOESCH interlock sealing system.
It can also be combined with a coating (duplex system) to yield
additional benefits. The requirements of DIN EN ISO 1461 must
be adhered to. An analysis of the steel must be carried out prior
to hot-dip galvanising in order to determine the properties of the
surface. Special marking is also necessary. Therefore, if hot-dip
galvanising is planned, this must be specified prior to rolling. As
with coating, filling interlocks with bituminous materials is not
recommended with hot-dip galvanising, either.

Weights and section modulus values

of combined steel sheet piling.
Weights
The ratio of the different lengths has to be taken into account when
calculating the weight per square metre of combined sheet piling.
The true weight per square metre of the wall related to the length of
the PSp bearing piles required for structural reasons can be read
off the tables for the lengths given in percentages. Intermediate
values can be obtained by linear interpolation.

Section modulus values

The loadbearing capacity of each individual pile section is taken into
account according to its moment of inertia value when calculating
the structural values for combined sheet piling:

I r + I Zw
Iy
=
a

I r + I Zw
Wy
=
a . ep

I r + I Zw
WyI =
a . epI

Ir = moment of inertia of PSp pile in cm4

I Zw = moment of inertia of PZ pile in cm4
a = spacing of PSp piles in m
ep /epI = distance of edge from neutral axis in cm
(related to outer edge of pile/interlock)

The section modulus values Wy, WyI and the moment of inertia value Iy
are specified in the tables for combined sheet piling.
