Trench Sheets - KKD 600/6
The KKD 600/6 overlapping trench sheets are our most popular lap trench sheets, although we do offer a lighter 3.5mm standard lap profile trench sheet if required. KKD 600/6 trench sheets are used during excavation works as a way to shore up ground works and hold back ground, stopping the walls of the excavations from caving in. As they are 6mm thick, they are usually used for deeper excavations than our 3.5mm standard lap trench sheets are used for.
HERMEQ manufactures a number of trench sheets & sheet piles, including the most popular standard lap trench sheets, L8 interlocking sheet piles & KKD 600/6 trench sheets. All of our KD6 sheet piles are manufactured by HERMEQ in the UK from S275 grade steel. HERMEQ Steel is a member of the HERMEQ Group, enabling us to source all of raw materials internally. Manufacturing KKD 600/6 sheet piles inhouse allows us to control the sheet pile quality & gives us full material traceability.
Made from S275 grade steel our KD6 sheet piles have a section modulus of 184 cm3/m & a moment capacity 36.8 kNm/m. KKD600/6 trench sheets are one of our most versatile sheets & are often used in most small & medium sized excavations. Although we manufacture our KKD600/6 sheets in the Midlands, we can deliver these through our UK wide depot network on our own internal haulage.

Trench sheets are used to shore up trenches & ground works whilst excavation works take place in order to provide a safe working environment. The sheets are primarily designed to be handled and installed by excavators using the bucket to drive the sheets vertically into the ground. As standard our KKD600/6 Trench Sheets come with one hole, normally 40mm in dia, for handling and pitching the sheets, although we can provide a second hole upon request.
The KKD600/6 overlapping trench sheet is one of the most popular sheets in Europe and is especially popular amongst hire companies because of its versatility and durability. Through HERMEQ B.V & HERMEQ IE we export these trench sheets across the world.
These KKD 600/6 trench sheets are popular because they are a durable heavy duty standard lap trench sheet at 6mm thick, whilst still being relatively easy to handle and install. KKD trench sheets are installed side by side, with the edge of one KKD trench sheet overlapping the next trench sheet. The effective width of the KKD 600/6 trench sheets is 600mm. This means that when working out how many KKD sheets are needed for an excavation you simply work out the total distance required, convert it to millimetres & divide by 600.
The KKD600/6 trench sheets weigh 37.5kg per meter, simply multiply 37.5kg by the length of your KKD600/6 trench sheet to get the total weight of the sheet pile.
