Uses

• In the construction sector, engineers use sheet piling to retain boundary walls between land. Sheet piling could be helpful when the adjacent buildings can tolerate the vibration that occurs during its installation process.
  
  

Design

• Typically, sheet pilings are designed so as to create a barrier for earth and water, while being able to withstand their bending forces. The shape of the piling adds to its structural strength. The soil in which the piling is used also has mechanical properties that impact its performance.
  
  

Temporary or Permanent

• Sheet pilings could be used on a temporary or permanent basis. A permanent application is one in which the construction workers drive the piling into the ground. In a temporary application, the workers remove the piling once the work is done.
