Vinyl, Composite and Plastic Sheet Piles

Sheet Piling (UK) Ltd is the UK’s largest supplier and installer of vinyl, composite and plastic sheet piles.

As a UK and Ireland representative of Crane Materials International (CMI) – the USA’s premier manufacturer of vinyl, composite and plastic sheet piles, we are able to offer wide ranges of sections, to cover every conceivable application.

Typical applications of plastic piling and composite sheet piles include:

  • cut off walls/impermeable barriers where a range of hydrophilic sealant can be pre-applied.
  • flood defence walls.
  • erosion/Scour protection walls.
  • light duty retaining walls (generally less than 2.0m retained height).
  • canal/Marina Basin Walls.
  • contamination Containment Barriers/Cofferdams.

Our Shoreguard plastic sheet piles are available in sections with a modulus range of 300cm3/m to 1000cm3/m. The more robust ‘Geoguard’ Composite FRP Sheet Pile is available ranging from 700cm3/m to 2000cm3/m modulus. Consequently, it is apparent that vinyl, composite and plastic sheet piles offer a viable alternative section to sheet piles ranging from light trench sheets, to light-section sheet piles.

Manufactured from 100% recycled material, and using energy efficient production methods, the latest plastic piling sections to hit the market will provide your project with a rust-free, chemically-resistant and maintenance-free solution, and come in at a reduced cos, when compared to steel alternatives. Sheet Piling (UK) Ltd is able to offer the full range of vinyl, composite and plastic sheet piles on a ‘sale only’ or ‘supply and installation’ basis.

Ideally suited for installations into soft clays or loose granular soils, the vinyl piles can be installed using a range of vibratory hammers, including MOVAX-type side-grip rigs, ‘Excavator Mounted Vibratory (EMVs) or Light Crane Suspended Vibratory/Air Hammers. In dense, granular soils, or firm clays, the sheets can be installed using a steel-driving mandrel, referred to as a ‘Stabcat Stompper’ which is available via Sheet Piling (UK) Ltd for use throughout Europe.
