Advantages​

Vinyl Sheet Piles or PVC Sheet Piles are an effective alternative to steel sheet piling for bulkheads, seawalls and cutoff walls. They are also superior to alternative materials like concrete and wood. The main advantage of vinyl sheet piles is the superior corrosion resistance when exposed to seawater, where no oxidation occurs. Vinyl sheet piles are also highly resistant to marine borers which make them superior to wooden solutions. Browse through ESC’s new range of sheet piles, manufactured in facilities in Europe in partnership with the Pietrucha Group. Soon to be manufactured in the USA. Vinyl Sheet Piling also known as Synthetic Sheet Piling, Plastic Sheet Piles, PVC Sheet Piles are becoming increasingly popular due to:

50+ Year Design Life and Transferrable Warranty

Due to their superior corrosion resistance, ESC Vinyl Sheet Piles can be used with confidence in their structural integrity and appearance even after 50 years.

Cost Efficiency

both from installation and long term cost savings due to superior corrosion resistance and lower price per unit foot of material.

UV Resistance

The PVC material is engineered with special compounds for resistance to harmful ultraviolet rays.

No Toxic Coatings

No coatings are required, which may be detrimental to the environment.

Not Affected by Marine Borers

Small mollusks or crustaceans in the ocean can cause devastating effects over a period of time to traditional timber piling. Vinyl Sheet Piling offers an attractive alternative that is unaffected by these organisms.

Easy Installation

Compared to steel sheet piles, vinyl sheet piles can be up to 100 times lighter per square foot making it much easier to handle. Driving can also be completed under certain conditions by pressing down with an excavator or a impact vibrohammer.

Carbon Emissions

Significantly lower than steel solutions.

Vinyl Sheet Pile Typical Applications

ESC Vinyl PVC Sheet Piles can be utilized for flood protection structures such as Flood Walls or  Levees, Stabilization of Dams, Protection of Piping.
