Plastic Sheet Piles

Pietrucha plastic sheet piles are used for sustainable and watertight sheet pile walls in marshes, lakes and harbour structures.

Pietrucha is a Polish company manufacturing specialised plastic construction materials.

The plastic sheet piles are made from sustainable materials and contain no toxic substances. They are corrosion resistant, UV resistant and impervious to, for example, marine borers.

Plastic sheet piles can be driven, vibrated, pressed or excavated into place. For driving long sheet piles, a steel guide pile can be used as assistance, which is withdrawn and reused after installation. Plastic sheet piles can, like steel sheet piles, be secured with ground anchors and finished with a capping beam. In addition, special corner profiles and compounds for increasing watertightness of the interlocks are available.
