Coating Sheet Piling
We are designing cofferdam sheeting that will extend through a continuous layer of peat and terminate a minimum of 2 ft. in hard clay.
The sheeting is not in a body of water but will be used to construct an access road to a new sewer line through a marsh area. The geotech
recommends that the sheeting should be coated because of the organic peat. My question is what is the difficulty in getting the sheeting
coated? I don't believe sheeting manufacturers are set up to do this additional work before shipping them to the job site? I would like
to hear from anyone who has been through this.
Thanks in advance for any help or information/suggestions.

Though I've never done them in highly corrosive environments.
I've gotten buy-off on this method many times from AHJ's and have even had corrosion analysis done from a third party (seemed like a bunch of hand waving to me though...).

Hot dip galvanizing might survive driving well enough, but could be difficult to find a galvanizer who can dip long sheets. Also, the zinc coating may interfere with the threading of steel sheet piling interlock. For the cost of HDG, can probably buy much thicker sheets.
