Discover the Installation Process for Vinyl Sheet Pilings
Tidewall vinyl sheet pilings are engineered for installation into the ground, similar to the process used for driving steel sheet piles. Various techniques and equipment are employed for this purpose. Discover how to install your vinyl sheet pilings with these several common sheet piling driving methods and options.
Vibro Hammer
This process involves utilizing a vibro hammer to simultaneously raise the sheets and securely embed them into the ground by vibration. It's important to note that for vinyl pilings, lighter vibro hammers are recommended compared to those typically employed for steel piling.
Plate Compactor
For regions with soil of moderate stiffness or lower, vinyl sheet pilings can be effectively driven into the ground using a plate compactor attached to a backhoe, ensuring a smooth and efficient installation.
Compression Driving
In regions with highly soft soils, a straightforward compression driving technique proves effective for vinyl sheet pilings installation. This method involves using the backhoe's bucket to apply vertical force onto the sheets, ensuring a smooth insertion into the ground. Notably, this approach is particularly suitable for the heavier vinyl sheet pilings, such as those with a TW85 rating and higher.
Pile Driver
A hydraulic hammer is used to force the panels into the ground. The impact drives the panels deep into the soil, securing them firmly. This method is efficient, durable, and environmentally friendly, making it a popular choice. Pile hammers within the 300-800 pound range are recommended for driving vinyl sheet pilings.
Vinyl Sheet Piling Info & Specs
When installing vinyl sheet pilings in sandy terrain, jetting serves as an effective installation technique. This method involves utilizing a pump to elevate and increase the speed of a water stream, directed through a wand to the base of the sheets. The force of the water displaces the sand, enabling the Tidewall to be gently positioned. Once the water jet is discontinued, the displaced sand naturally resettles around the sheets.
