The EcoZ Plastic Sheet Piling

A light weight Z pile, based upon the original plastic piles produced in the UK, can be used in two configurations a fact unique to plastic piling, the Z rib where all piles are in the same direction, and the more convention format for a Z pile the Box rib, whereby an enlarged U is created by alternating the Z piles. The Z rib creates the greatest coverage, will the box rib having a deeper section depth provide greater strength.12 degrees in Z rib, 15 degrees in Box rib Best Features The Z profile is favored among engineers as it maximizes the strength (box rib) of a light gauge profile. Once installed the interlocks located as far from the neutral axis as possible. Cost-Cheap Strength-Low in z rib, moderate in Box rib Drivability Lengths of up to 3 metres have been driven with impact and vibratory hammers. It is rare for long lengths to be employed even when installed in a trench. Typical length used 1,2,3m Interlock pull out resistance The EcoZ features a second generation interlock compared to the original plastic Z piles, and so exhibits much high pull out resistance. Although compared to heavier duty products, it is still relatively light gauge. Stiffness -Quite flexible Durability-Quite resilient to impact damage, with all the standard properties of PVC Types of application Low load applications, such as ditch blocking, erosion control, pond edging, low retaining walls.
