L8 galvanised trench sheeting offers a durable and corrosion-resistant solution for ground retention and excavation support. These cold-rolled sheet piles interlock for reliable soil retention, creating a watertight seal suitable for demanding groundworks. HERMEQ's advanced UK manufacturing process ensures consistency and quick delivery.
Engineered from S235JR steel, these 3.5mm thick L8 trench sheets are precision-formed for high performance. Ideal for canal banks, marinas, and infrastructure support, their interlocking profile allows for faster installation and reduced onsite labour. Sheets can be hydraulically pushed or installed using vibratory or impact hammers depending on soil conditions.
- Available in multiple lengths - Ranging from 1.2m to 5.0m to meet various ground support needs.
- Galvanised for durability - Zinc coating protects against corrosion for longer service life in wet conditions.
- Cold-rolled design - Manufactured in-house for full traceability and consistent structural integrity.
- High-strength steel - Made from S235JR grade steel to meet demanding ground support applications.
- Interlocking profile - Enables secure connection between sheets for effective earth retention and water resistance.
HERMEQ manufactures its L8 trench sheeting entirely in-house, giving complete control over quality and traceability. Starting from wide coil steel, each sheet is cold-formed and precision-cut with lifting holes for safe handling and rapid site deployment. These steel sheet piles are galvanised to withstand corrosion—especially critical in wet environments such as rivers, canals, and flood-prone worksites.
Designed for professional use, L8 sheet piles deliver exceptional performance in soil retention for excavation projects, infrastructure builds, and temporary or permanent retaining walls. The interlocking mechanism ensures structural rigidity while reducing groundwater ingress. Installation is efficient with the option of vibratory or impact hammers, and quieter hydraulic pressing when vibration control is required.
These trench sheets are widely adopted by large contractors across the UK thanks to their adaptability, durability, and delivery availability. HERMEQ's nationwide depot network enables rapid next-day delivery. As one of the largest suppliers of sheet piles for sale, HERMEQ ensures every order is packed, banded and shipped to suit your site schedule.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Trench Sheets, Groundworks, Trench Covers & Road Plates conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

Applications:
L8 trench sheeting is widely applied in UK groundworks due to its corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Contractors choose L8 trench sheets for projects near watercourses where long-term exposure demands galvanised protection. These trench sheets are favoured for use on sites needing compact equipment handling and rapid deployment. Their 434mm width and 3.5mm thickness combine stability with ease of installation, with guide walings and piling frames available from HERMEQ to simplify alignment.
The L8’s interlocking profile ensures seamless connectivity when constructing continuous retaining walls. Whether it’s trench stabilisation or perimeter control around deep excavations, these steel sheet piles provide versatile and secure support. By selecting HERMEQ trench sheeting, buyers gain the advantage of UK manufacturing, steel traceability, and excellent turnaround times.
