  Installation Overview
 
 

CMI Sheet Piling is driven with common conventional pile driving equipment. Yes, the same tools that drive steel sheet piling such as drop hammers, vibratory hammers and large excavators have driven millions of feet of CMI sheets for nearly two decades. However, our corrosion resistant aluminum and synthetic sheets are much lighter than steel. This weight difference and ease of handling results in lower labor costs, safer job sites, and more profitable projects.

The success of any sheet pile installation is dependent upon using the proper type of equipment for the soil conditions on site.  Generally vibratory methods are best suited for granular or sandy soils while impact driving works best for cohesive or clay soil conditions.  Occasionally it is best to dig a trench, place the sheets and fill with soil or a flowable fill.  Some applications may warrant specialized gear such as a mandrel.
