Sheeting, or sheet piling, has found wide use throughout the world for many applications.  The primary application is for SHORING, but other applications range from cut-off walls to creating cofferdams.  With greater familiarity and more modern methods of installation, like variable moment vibrators and Mobilram with fixed leaders, sheeting will find ever greater usage, even in urban environments.  Additionally, the use of sheeting for permanent applications continues to grow as it provides a cost effective and aesthetic means of creating walls for marine wharfs, tunnels to highway interchanges.

A small portion of the site being shored at the  Playa Vista develop- ment of apartment and multiuse facilites. Pictured is the Worthington Homes project, which was shored in under 10 days, including tiebacks and excavation.  Sheeting was installed by August Construction and the tiebacks and excavation by Shoring Engineers. The Moot Group was the Project Manager for Play Vista.   Cefali & Associates provided the shoring engineering.

The start of a 18' x18' by 25' deep shoring pit using 50' long sheet piles at Pier 400 in Los Angeles Harbor.  Excel Paving was the General Contractor and Bali Construction the subcontractor. August installed the sheet piles and walers. 

Mobilram, with Variable moment vibrator, allows full control of the frequency and power to mitigate resonation to nearby structures.  This is the modern face of piling.
