What are the advantages of hot-rolled sheet piling?
Hot rolled steel sheet piling is an engineered product meeting ASTM specifications. These specifications, and the producer’s QC program, provide a quality product which is both ductile and durable. In addition, steel’s strength will not change over the years, i.e., the material produced today will have the same properties during the entire life of the structure when properly maintained. The hot-rolled process enables the producer to engineer profiles by placing metal where it will be most efficient in maximizing section properties. The process also permits the design and production of interlocks with structural integrity. Additional advantages of hot rolled steel sheet piling are: • Steel sheet piling is usually the lowest cost retaining wall alternative, even in permanent applications (refer to the NASSPA Permanent Retaining Wall Comparison Study). • Steel sheet piling is a top choice in water retention systems, particularly with cofferdams, port & harbors, locks & dams and flood prot
