Product Group-Traditional Plastic sheet piling
Material-Recycled PVC
Description-
A more traditional trench sheet style U pile, very much the big brother of the Masterpile, this section is thicker, deeper and with quite substantial interlocks.
Max Angle of Rotation-7 Degrees
Best Features-Popular design – one of the first U plastic piles in the UK that is sturdy, but not too enlarged
Cost-Cheap to Moderate – definitely a value product Strength-Equivalent to Europile
Drivability-New to range to little experience to date, but has a good symmetry and is quite chunky and so would impact drive well, seems a very rigid section and pan width is large enough to be clamped by an EMV type vibrator.
Typical length used-1,2,3,4 all likely
Interlock pull out resistance-Very good
Stiffness-Very good, but at lengths exceeding 3 metres flexibility may well become an issue
Durability-Very Good resilience excellent suitability to impact hammers
Types of application-
As for Europile and Eco Z, would imagine as the U shape is quite standard it would attract bank stabilisation projects more so than any other product – due to the inherent familiarity of its design and it potential to be installed with conventional hammers.
