Sheet Pile Wall - Aesthetic Facing Options
Sheet Pile Wall - Aesthetic Facing Options
(OP)
I have a cantilevered sheetpile wall along a fresh-water inland river. The client has asked if there are any aesthetically pleasing facing options to improve the look along the river in conjunction with a park that is being proposed. What are my options here? The only thing I have come up with short of building another wall in front of it is tack-welding a steel lattice on the wall in order to shotcrete it.

Short sections of 152 x 152 x 19mm steel angle welded to piles vertically at 900mm centres, with 150 x 150 vertical timbers (full cantilever height) bolted onto each side of the angle. Then 50 x 150, 2.4m long planks are slotted in behind (10-15mm gap between planks), to completely cover the sheet piles. The voids behind can be filled with 20-40mm clean stone to provide a habitat for invertebrates!
This detail was approved by the Environment Agency in the UK for a river project.
