PZ and PZC sheet piles, also known as Larsen sheet piles, are primarily used in the United States. Some Central American countries also prefer this cross-section.
Larsen steel sheet piles are widely used in watershed reconstruction and coastal infrastructure construction. China's economic development has been accompanied by the emergence of a series of large-scale projects. Furthermore, the construction of high-speed railways, intercity railways, and national highways all require foundations and cofferdams. In natural geological conditions such as crushed gravel (particle size less than 20mm), sand, and silt, with a bearing capacity below 100 kN/m², hot-rolled steel sheet piles can be driven up to 30 times.
Hot-rolled steel sheet piles are made from thinner steel plates (commonly 8mm to 14mm thick) using a roll-forming machine. They offer low production costs, a low price, and flexible length control. However, the monotonous processing method and the uniform thickness of all sheet piles result in larger cross-sectional dimensions and prevent optimal steel usage.
Customers can select the most economical and reasonable cross-section based on their project needs, optimizing the design. Compared to similar products, this product saves 10-15% in material, significantly reducing project costs.
