Plastic Sheet Piling

APE are extremely please to add to our range of plastic piling, the ProLock® and MultiLock® sheet piling system. These products marry well with the Europile, and APE’s overall approach to new products – these are market-focused developments, not ‘me-too’ products.
These products are produced in Holland for APE by Profextru bv, who has specialised in the production of plastic profiles for the water construction industry and agricultural sector.

Profextru has developed out of Wavin, Europe’s largest producer of plastic products, having almost half a century of experience in the development and manufacturing of synthetic material profiling.

The ProLock® plastic sheet piling is developed from a market demand perspective. It meets the needs of organisations responsible for water management for sheet piling systems which are durable and economical, and at the same time protect the environment. Riverbank protection made from tropical hardwoods and preserved woods do not fulfil current requirements. Steel and concrete are heavy and expensive.

Plastic is very sustainable, but it has a lower E-modulus than wood and steel. Softwood offers much strength and is cheap, but it rots away when it is applied at water surface. However, immersed softwood has a very long life span.

Therefore Profextru developed a sheet piling system which combines the characteristics of plastic with the benefits of softwood. The plastic screen is applied at the height where water is present up to ground level (and depending on the type of earth up to approx. 50 cm in the bottom), while the wooden pole is installed under the lowest water level, where it has to provide strength and the wood cannot rot.

Truline proves that although all plastic sheet piling may have similar material properties, they are not neccessarily the same. Truline has been created and developed to:

be an innovative design alternative, not another “me-too” low cost option;
be an inherently stronger design alternative than corrugated plastic piling;
make it easier and faster to form a concrete cap;
provide property owner with a more refined appearance to enhance the environment not detract with artifically repeated corrugations;
provide a strong retaining wall solution that is completely flat frontaged providing an internal french drain for better drainage;
provide better erosion and scour protection, its double skin providing a back up layer in cases of impact damage;
help reduce noise and scouring that occurs with old fashioned corrugated plastic piles;
provide engineers and contractor with a design and fill option that can be tailored to the job.
Truline’s dual-interlocking design reinforces the integrity of the joints between the parts from top to bottom. Not only increasing the water tighteness over old fashioned single interlocks, but acts against unzipping and maintains straight line installation.

Truline publishes engineering specification in accordance with full scale performance data by an accredited independent testing laboratory rather than rely on theorectical specifications.

Truline Series 800 and 1200 represent the heavier duty sections of APE plastic piling range with bending moments as high as 49 kNm/m and Section Modulus as high as 2258 cm3/m!

The Truline Products are based around a unique U channel design, and auxillary components such as end plates, and angles. These piles and components are then filled with gravel and concrete, a modern development based upon adopting the benefits of gabions and internally more substantial concrete capping.

The Truline system of multi-use components allows for:

The versatility to create piled walls for various land configurations while maintaining joint integrity.
The ability to configure wall returns to protect the new wall from failure of adjacent walls.
Unique methods for joing Truline to an existing concrete wall.
The Unique U-Channel design results in:

A smooth, flat external wall surface improving aesthetics through complete elimination of traditional corrugations.
The capability of the wall sections to be filled with gravel improving the strength and enhancing the drainage characteristics,
Less complicated formwork requirements, reducing installation time whilst create a more substantial integral capping system.
Stiffer sections of a uniform configuration maximising installation speeds, as sheet fleining is virtually eliminated.
Double interlocking.

I have not long made a blog about different gulls and birds you would find roosting on landfill sites and I am wondering whether you would like to exchange links with me. If you accept I will place your link on the right hand side of my blog, here is the information you will need if you accept.
