Introduction

Saraburi Construction Technology Company Limited (SCTC) has introduced to Thailand,

for the first time, PRESTRESSED CONCRETE CORRUGATED SHEET PILES (PC Corrugated Sheet
Piles) by the technical cooperation with PS Mitsubishi Construction Company, a company with
extensive experience in the field of Pre-stressed Concrete Techniques in Japan.

PC Corrugated Sheet Piles obtained recognition from Japanese Industrial Standard

Committee (JIS) in 1988.

SCTC provides various services to ensure total satisfaction to the customer, and is
always prepared to assist and provide guidelines and directions in technical aspects, design and
installation.

Advantages of Corrugated sheet Piles

Prestressed Concrete Corrugated Sheet Piles (PC Sheet Piles) were developed as a
substitute for steel piles and can be used for port structure, river revetment, sewerage
structures, earth retaining walls and many other uses. Because of their corrugated cross
section, PC Sheet Piles have better capabilities and are cheaper than conventional steel sheet
piles. In particular, PC Sheet Piles perform best when being driven; they can be placed with
greater accuracy.

PC Sheet Piles are already being used by many customers and their excellent
performance is highly appreciated. These piles satisfy all the demands required by customers.

PC Sheet Piles were tested by the Japanese Industrial Standard committee and were
formally given JIS approval under the revised standard JIS-A-5326 on September 1, 1988 by
the Japanese Minister of International Trade and Industry.

Some of the advantages of PC Sheet Piles are:

1. High strength and high quality

PC Sheet Piles are manufactured using the highest production
techniques in precasting plant where quality control is strictly
enforced.

2. High performance and economics

High strength materials are used in the manufacture of the piles.
In addition, the use of a corrugated cross section makes the piles
mechanically efficient while reducing weight. This allows PC
Sheet Piles to be a very economical product.

3. Sheet Piles have no front or back making handling easier
Since PC Sheet Piles have no front or back, they can be used in various applications. No
special instructions are needed for carrying, temporarily placing or lifting. This makes
handling easy and reduces placement errors.

4. Special Sheet Piles can be manufactured

Extra wide or long Sheet Piles can be manufactured from Prestressed concrete (PC) at the
customer’s requests without problems.

5. Completely free from rust and corrosion; making

them usable even in marine structure
Since PC Sheet Piles are prestressed, there is no racking. They can
be used for ocean structures in accordance with

Standard Concrete Specifications especially severe corrosive

environments.

6. Can be made water tight

By using newly developed highly elastic vinyl chloride sealing
materials, PC sheet piles can be sealed to prevent sand passing through the PC Sheet
Piles wall, discoloration from water leaks and growth of weeds in the joints.

7. Excellent workability
PC Sheet Piles can withstand a high tensile force, allowing them to be pulled out after
driving; and are suited to mechanical driving machines, even Vibrohammer, because they are
made of prestressed concrete.

8.High driving accuracy

Because of the corrugated cross section of the PC
Sheet Piles, resisting planes are large in the lateral
direction and normal direction so that there is less
tilting or overturning.

9. Small displacement (deflection) at the

head of sheet piles
Even in case the of self-standing PC Sheet Piles
retaining walls, the displacement under loading at the top edge is smaller than for other pile
types, because the moment of inertia of PC Sheet Pile cross section is larger since the pile
cross section is a wave form. This allows for higher retaining walls.
