Some time ago, we published a series about unusual applications for fiberglass profiles. Today we would like to continue the series and introduce another interesting fiberglass product: Larssen sheet piles.
This simple U-shaped element was invented by Bremen Trygve Larssen in 1902. Its design and interlocking grooves make it possible to quickly and easily create a strong continuous wall. Its main purpose is to separate water from soil.
Today, Larssen sheet piles are widely used in many fields. Their primary application is reinforcing the banks of water bodies and other artificial embankments. They are also used to protect excavation slopes from collapse and flooding and to control soil movement within a construction site.
Larssen sheet piles are traditionally made of metal, but use in a water environment makes them susceptible to active corrosion. Unlike their metal counterparts, Larssen sheet piles made of composite materials do not rot or rust, providing a long service life.
The photos below show sheet piles produced on the СПП600-25т pultrusion line at Ivanovo Mechanical Plant. They have increased strength and wear resistance and can serve as a high-quality, durable alternative to conventional metal products.
