Sheet Piling

Home / Earth Retention Systems / Sheet Piling

Sheet pile walls are typically used to retain soft, loose or wet soils (or even water) or where there is a need to control water inflow into the excavation.

Fukai Toyotetsu Indiana Corporation (FTIC) Expansion

Project Location: Jamestown, IN
Owner: Fukai Toyotetsu Indiana Corporation
Architect/Engineer: Axis/Alberts Engineering
Completion Year: 2017

  • 225 ea PZC26 Sheet Piles @ 45’ in Length
  • 76 ea tiebacks
  • 100 ea driven h-piles

Overview

Beaty was brought on board early in the planning stages by Takenaka (Construction Manager) to assist with planning for the FTIC Plant Expansion.  Beaty worked with Takenaka and the Owner to determine the best Earth Retention System (ERS) to use for protecting the existing Plant and Plant Operations while allowing for an 18’ excavation adjacent to the existing plant.  Beaty was ultimately contracted by Takenaka to provide design-build ERS services.  As project planning continued to develop, Beaty continued with Preconstruction Services for Deep Foundation design/selection (including driven pile design and drilled shaft design).

Rise at Chauncey

Project Location: West Lafayette, IN
Completion Year: 2018

  • 275 ea permanent PZC-18 Sheet Piles @ 40’ – 50’ in length
  • 120 ea tiebacks
  • 2500 SF temporary h-pile/lagging earth retention

Overview

Beaty was brought on board during the Design Development Phase by Brinkmann Constructors (General Contractor) to assist in determining the best Earth Retention solution for their 30’ deep excavation based on site constraints, soil conditions, and budget. Beaty Construction proposed the use of permanent sheet piling to be utilized as temporary earth retention as well as permanent subsurface walls as a value engineering alternate.  Beaty worked with Brinkmann in the preconstruction phase and ultimately completed the design and installation of the system for the project on time and under budget. Beaty Construction also worked with Brinkmann and Shiel Sexton to design and install the h-pile and lagging earth retention along the shared property line of the adjacent development project Hub Plus.
