HERMEQ FKD 400/6 trench sheeting offers effective soil retention in groundworks, foundations, and excavation works. Built with overlapping profiles and a steel thickness of 6mm, this sheet pile ensures structural reliability across a wide range of site conditions. It suits permanent or temporary installations where trench sheets are vital to stabilise soil walls and limit groundwater intrusion.
The steel grade S275JR enhances load-bearing capacity while enabling easy handling on site. Available in multiple lengths between 2.4m and 6.0m, FKD 400/6 is often used in infrastructure development, civil engineering and construction projects that require trench sheet systems for safe excavation.
- Retains soil during excavation - Minimises ground movement for safe trenching and stable groundworks.
- Overlapping interlock edges - Improves resistance to water ingress and adds structural rigidity.
- Lengths from 2.4m to 6.0m - Offers flexibility for different project depths and conditions.
- Compatible with vibratory/impact hammers - Ensures fast and precise installation of each steel sheet pile.
- Hydraulic install options - Suitable for vibration-sensitive or restricted-access sites.
These sheet piles can be vibrated, driven, or hydraulically pressed into place, depending on soil conditions and environmental constraints. The FKD 400/6 profile offers a practical balance between strength and installability for construction environments that require dependable trench sheeting.
Its 408mm effective width means fewer piles are required to cover large perimeters, improving productivity and reducing handling time. This trench sheet system is compatible with HERMEQ’s range of ground protection and trench safety equipment, making it a scalable solution for contractors looking to build secure working environments quickly and safely.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Trench Sheets, Groundworks, Trench Covers & Road Plates conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

The FKD 400/6 trench sheeting from HERMEQ is engineered to support deep excavations, earth retention, and foundation works in heavy-duty civil and commercial settings. Its overlapping sheet pile profile provides both rigidity and alignment across large excavated perimeters. The 6mm steel thickness and 408mm effective width allow each unit to resist bending under lateral soil pressure, making it suitable for high-load trenching and flood-side reinforcement projects.
This sheet pile is made from S275JR grade steel and designed for use with vibratory, impact, or hydraulic pressing methods. Where vibrations are restricted — such as in urban or heritage zones — FKD 400/6 can be silently pushed into place using hydraulic systems. This flexibility makes it ideal for both new-build developments and refurbishments, where trench sheet stability is critical for worker safety and asset protection.
Commonly used across transport, utility, and marine projects, the FKD 400/6 profile integrates into multi-level trench sheeting systems or can stand alone as single-depth earth retention. Each pile can be installed in sequence and locked edge-to-edge to form a watertight perimeter, especially effective in reducing groundwater ingress. The trench sheet design offers high resistance to distortion during install, ensuring uniform trench face profiles are maintained.
Standard lengths range from 2.4m to 6.0m, offering coverage flexibility for shallow utility trenches through to full-depth excavations. Custom lengths are also available to accommodate specialist configurations. With a cross-sectional area of 19.8cm² and 50mm depth, FKD 400/6 ensures structural continuity across each joined section. This specification also supports efficient load calculations for structural engineers, reducing guesswork and ensuring code compliance.
In groundworks where access constraints or soil instability increase installation risks, FKD 400/6 provides fast deployment, alignment control, and robust hold under variable site pressures. HERMEQ’s supply chain ensures quick delivery, and stock availability means project delays are minimised. In combination with HERMEQ trench covers, trench sheets, and steel road plates, this profile forms part of a complete trench safety and access solution.
Designed for use in all weather and terrain conditions, this trench sheet profile suits temporary and permanent works alike. It meets the practical demands of UK contractors seeking fast, safe, and scalable trenching infrastructure with reduced installation risk and consistent performance.

What is trench sheeting used for?
Trench sheeting supports soil in excavations to prevent collapse and ensure safe working spaces. It is commonly used in groundwork, utility trenching, and civil engineering.
Can trench sheet piles be reused?
Yes, steel trench sheets are often reusable depending on project conditions and site wear. HERMEQ’s trench sheet piles are designed for durability across multiple installations.
What equipment is needed to install sheet piles?
Vibratory hammers are standard for trench sheet installation. On harder ground or sensitive sites, impact hammers or hydraulic push systems can be used.
Do HERMEQ sheet piles come in custom lengths?
Standard lengths range from 2.4m to 6.0m, but other sizes may be available upon request. Contact our team for specific trench sheeting requirements.
