Sheet Piling

Reliable Sheet Pile Installation for Retaining Walls and Cofferdams

Sheet piling is a proven method of ground support and earth retention that uses thin interlocking sheets of steel to create a continuous barrier in the ground. This system is ideal for both temporary and permanent works, providing stability and protection in a wide range of soil conditions.

At McMahon Engineering, we specialize in professional sheet pile installation for retaining walls, cofferdams, excavation support, and waterfront structures. Our team combines the right equipment and technical expertise to deliver safe, efficient, and cost-effective solutions for construction projects of any size.

Applications of Sheet Piling

• Retaining Walls – Steel sheet piles are used to hold back soil or water, creating safe, stable conditions for construction.
• Cofferdams – Sheet piles form watertight enclosures that allow permanent works to proceed below water level.
• Excavation Support – Ideal for deep foundation and underground utility projects where earth retention is critical.
• Waterfront Structures – Commonly used for seawalls, bulkheads, and riverbank stabilization.

Installation Methods

We use modern equipment and proven techniques to ensure accuracy and long-term performance of sheet piles:

• Vibratory Hammers – Efficiently drive sheet piles into place with minimal noise and vibration.
• Crawler Cranes – Provide the strength and mobility needed for large-scale sheet piling projects.
• Drilling Assistance – Used in dense or hard ground conditions to aid installation.
