PZ Type Steel Sheet Pile Corrosion prevention solution
Americas: HDG (according to ASTM A123, zinc thickness ≥ 85μm) + optional 3PE coating, marked "Environmentally friendly RoHS compliant".
Southeast Asia: The hot-dip galvanizing (zinc ≥100μm) with the epoxy coal tar coating provides excellent corrosion protection, the salt spray test failures have always been 0 at 5,000 hours, suitable for tropical marine environments.
PZ Type Steel Sheet Pile Locking
Design: Z-shape interlock, permeability ≤1×10⁻⁷cm/s
America: Meets the requirements of ASTM D5887, the standard test method for penetration of water through foundation and retaining walls.
Southeast Asia: High groundwater and flood-seepage resistance for tropical and monsoonal regions
PZ Type Steel Sheet Pile Production Process
Steel Selection:
Choose high-quality structural steel according to certain mechanical property requirements.
Heating:
Heat billets/slabs to ~1,200°C for malleability.
Hot Rolling:
Shape steel into Z-profile with rolling mills.
Cooling:
Cool at Cool or tap water spray dote until the target water content was reached.
Straightening & Cutting:
Maintain the accuracy of the tolerance while cutting the material to standard or custom lengths.
Quality Inspection:
Perform dimensional, mechanical and visual inspections.
Surface Treatment (Optional):
If required, apply paint, galvanize or protect from rust.
Packaging & Shipping:
Pack, protect, and pick up for shipping.
PZ Type Steel Sheet Pile Main Application
1. Embankment project: Z-shaped steel sheet piles can be assembled to form a sealed water-blocking retaining structure, creating a safe construction space for underwater construction and deep foundation pit operations.
2. Wall support: Z-shaped steel sheet piles provide lateral support for the foundation pit, resisting the pressure from the soil mound and ensuring the smooth progress of workers' excavation operations.
3. Port and harbor: Serves as permanent shoreline bracing for docks, sustaining loads from soil, water and waves.
4. Flood & riverbank protection: Shields river slopes from current scouring and stops bank failure.
Why Choose Z Type Steel Sheet Piles
1. Under the same cross-sectional modulus conditions, the Z-shaped steel sheet piles are lighter in weight and have a higher material utilization rate compared to the U-shaped steel sheet piles.
2. The single sheet width is larger, and the number of piles required for installation is less, which can reduce the costs of piling and support construction. The number of locking ports is fewer, and the water-stop sealing performance is better.
3. They can be combined with steel pipes and H-shaped steel as filling piles for use, easily achieving a higher cross-sectional modulus and meeting the requirements of heavy-load support.
Packaging & Shipping
Z-type sheet piles are bundled firmly with straps and neatly loaded into containers. Compact and stable loading prevents shifting and damage during sea transportation, ensuring safe delivery to your port.
