　　For most construction sites, you can easily spot pillars of steel being driven into the ground, erected in a connective series with edges interlocking with each other. Those are exactly what sheet piles are. Although they are most commonly made of steel, they also come in timber and reinforced concrete. Selection varies based on the complexity of the project and the nature of the structure. When arranged together, they create a temporary or permanent wall for support.

　　Sheet piles most commonly provide water and soil retention, land reclamation, and excavation support. As aforementioned, they are widely used for constructing underground structures, waterfront structures, riverbank protection, sea wall, cofferdams, and bridge abutments.
