Steel sheet pile cofferdams are primarily used for the construction of bridge foundations, underground storage tanks, drive and reception pits, land-based outfall structures, utility diversion schemes, and generally any deep excavation on land or water where safe access is required for construction work.

 

Hanzi has over 4,000 te of "U" and "Z" steel sheet piles for temporary cofferdam projects across the country. We offer a complete design, supply, installation, and removal service for any project requiring a temporary sheet pile cofferdam, as well as any temporary steel support framework. Because all elements required to deliver such a solution are available under one roof, clients can be assured that the ideal design solution will always be delivered promptly and efficiently.

On many construction sites, effective management and control of construction noise is crucial to mitigate or avoid adverse impacts on the health and quality of life of site workers and the public. Consequently, silent piling is now the sheet pile installation method of choice in the construction industry, particularly in environmentally sensitive locations such as urban and city center developments, hospitals, piling operations adjacent to existing structures, or on difficult-to-access embankment slopes.

 

Hanzi owns and operates several sheet pile presses capable of installing a full range of "Z" and "U" shaped sheet piles. Hanzi has over 20 years of experience installing and extracting sheet piles for a variety of permanent and temporary projects. It has been operating in the most environmentally sensitive locations with virtually no noise or vibration.

 

Our sheet pile method is developed around a "pitch and drive" process, where each successive sheet pile is installed to the designed pile toe level. This allows the pile press to effectively "walk" along the pile head using an automated movement system. This feature eliminates the need for a crane gantry to move the pile press along the production line, meaning the pile press system can be effectively used in locations requiring sheet piles above or below earthworks, or even over water.
