HERMEQ's ThyssenKrupp U Piles are engineered for strength, adaptability and installation speed, making them the go-to trench sheeting system for major UK infrastructure works. These U-shaped steel sheet piles feature Larssen interlocks for tight connections, excellent water resistance and high load-bearing performance in confined excavation environments.
Designed for ground retention in pits, cofferdams and marine construction, the U pile profile maximises durability while enabling continuous wall formation. These trench sheets are fabricated from hot rolled steel and available in various grades, including S270GP to S390GP, offering enhanced resistance in high-load and water-pressurised applications.
- Heavy-duty sheeting - U pile structure delivers high strength-to-weight ratios in vertical and horizontal applications.
- Versatile usage - Suitable for bridge abutments, flood control, quays and irrigation works.
- Larssen interlocks - Proven interlocking system ensures structural stability and watertight performance.
- Cut to length - Supplied with standard or custom slinging holes to suit installation methods.
- Profile variety - Models L601 through L607 available for scalable trench sheeting coverage.
Each sheet pile integrates seamlessly into circular, linear or custom layouts. These trench sheets can be enhanced with injected sealants, dowels, beams or tubes depending on ground conditions. Their resistance to flexural stress and water filtration make them suitable for long-term installation or reusable temporary systems.
HERMEQ’s U Piles are compatible with additional structural systems such as walings, tie rods, H-beams, rebar and tubes—providing a one-stop solution for UK contractors managing excavation and marine engineering. From road widening to water retention, these trench sheeting profiles simplify temporary works planning while maintaining long-term integrity.
HERMEQ stocks a wide-range of Trench Sheets, Groundworks, Trench Covers & Road Plates conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.
