Gerdau Ameristeel sheet piling products feature mechanical "ball and socket" connections that allow each sheet to interlock with another and create a rigid barrier for earth and water while resisting the lateral pressures of these forces. The ball and socket interlock also permits flexibility in setting while remaining very durable under driving conditions compared to other systems. The Z shape of each section lends to its structural strength which is determined not only by the size, but also by the thickness of the steel. Of course, the soil conditions in which the section is driven will also affect the performance of the foundation or wall. The PZC and PZ series sheet pile can often be used as an alternative to Trade Arbed AZ sheet piling from Arcelor.
Gerdau Ameristeel Sheet Piling Sections may be divided into two types
based on their end use:
Z-Profiles - sections used for beam strength in cantilevered and braced construction
