SHEET PILES
INTRODUCTION OF SHEET PILES
Sheet Piles are land retaining structures made up of individual sheet piles and driven underground . A vertical set of unendingly interlocked piles forms a versatile vertical wall referred to as a sheet pile. It is light in weight and don’t need dewatering; they can hold earth pressures and might tolerate giant deformations. It serves as a supporting wall that has been driven during the slope or creek to support soft soils slides from high to low ground. The thought of pile is pretty easy, where a wall or siding has to be command back; it is impacted into the land at pre-set intervals. With vibratory or impact hammers, the sheets are driven into the soil. Sometimes they will be installed with hydraulic presses. Sheet piles are made with many types of strong materials. Mainly sheet piles are made with steel, timber, vinyl, polymeric, aluminium; precast concrete sheets are also used at times. The concept is to design narrow, interconnecting sheets that can be connected and driven into the underground. Durability and strength are defined by the shape and material of the sheet pilesSheet Piles are land retaining structures made up of individual sheet piles and driven underground .

TYPES OF SHEET PILES
'Z' TYPE SHEET PILES TYPE - B
‘Z’ type Sheet Piles (Type – B) have a conventional design; with high modulus of section and therefore, most suitable for extremely
'U' - TYPE SHEET PILES
Since ‘U’ type sheet pile has equal cross section, it is more convenient to pile. ‘U’ type sheet piles are suggested for support usage.
TRENCH SHEETS
Trench Sheets are useful for projects where temporary earth retention is involved and the wall heights are not too demanding.
APPLICATION OF SHEET PILES
• Flood walls
• Levee Freeboard increases
• Dam Stabilization
• Piping Protection
• Seepage Barrier
• Levee Repair
• Chemical Containment
• Underground chemical tanks
• Groundwater cut off/diversion
• Foundation Protection
• Tide walls
• Breakwaters/Wave Breaks
• Jetties
• Groins
• Erosion Control/Scour Protection
• Retaining Walls for abutments & Slopes
• Basements
PROJECT
Cosmic Group has implemented a Greenfield project for manufacturing of cold rolled formed section at Singur, Dist Hoogly, West Bengal. CRF sections are and alterna- tive to hot rolled metal sections as these offer various advantages besides cost savings. The product finds wide applications in Irrigation, Building sections, Automobile Industries, Railway Wagons and Coaches and various other Industries. Cosmic Group has also forayed into the Real Estate sector and till date has developed and promoted more than 20 projects in various parts of West Bengal Translating into 1000000 sq.ft. area.
