Sky Steel Group manufactures and supplies heavy-duty SP-III (Type 3) 400 × 125 × 13 mm hot-rolled U-type steel sheet piles (JIS A 5528 SY295 standard). Specifically engineered for deep foundation pit shoring, retaining wall construction, temporary cofferdams, and riverbank flood protection works, our Type III Larssen interlock sheet piles deliver high section modulus ($1,340\text{ cm}^3\text{/m}$ of wall), exceptional driveability, tight interlock water-tightness, and multiple reuse cycles in harsh soil and groundwater conditions.

High Section Modulus, Precision Larssen Interlock & Reusable Driving Durability

Hot-rolled SP-III U-profile sheet piles (400 mm width × 125 mm height × 13.0 mm thickness, unit weight 60.0 kg/m) are hot-formed from high-yield structural carbon steel (SY295, yield strength ≥ 295 MPa). The symmetrical U-shape design places the continuous Larssen interlocks equidistant from the neutral axis, optimizing stress distribution during impact or vibratory hammer installation. The thickened 13.0 mm web and flange provide robust resistance against buckling, distortion, and declutching under dense sand, stiff clay, or gravel strata.

Precision hot-rolled claw-and-socket interlocks ensure smooth interlocking continuity along the entire drive length (6 m to 18 m), effectively sealing against groundwater ingress and soil migration. Mill value-added services include cut-to-length processing, corner pile fabrication (welded junction piles), lifting hole punching, driving cap fitting, and bitumen/polyurethane sealant pre-application.

Where Are SP-III (Type 3) 400 × 125 × 13 mm Steel Sheet Piles Used?

Combining structural bending strength, excellent soil displacement capability, and watertight Larssen clutch interlocking, SP-III SY295 hot-rolled U sheet piles serve as the standard civil engineering solution for excavation retaining, bridge foundations, river revetments, and marine waterfront structures.

Deep Foundation Excavation, Earth Retaining & Marine Quay Walls

SP-III sheet piles are driven continuously around urban basement excavations, bridge piers, road embankments, and coastal port quays. The 13.0 mm structural web thickness withstands high lateral earth and hydrostatic groundwater pressures, creating a rigid barrier that prevents soil collapse, slope instability, and adjacent building settlement during deep excavation.

Hot-Rolling Mill Production & Precision Nested Inventory

Manufactured on continuous hot-rolling structural mills under strict dimensional monitoring for interlock opening clearance, profile straightness, and cross-sectional symmetry. Piles are neatly interlocked and nested in warehouse stockyards, enabling compact storage, fast order consolidation, and prompt dispatch for major infrastructure tenders.

Interlocked Nested Bundles & High-Density Container Loading

Pairs of SP-III U sheet piles are reverse-nested into compact interlocking stacks bound with heavy steel banding and certified lifting wire straps. For 6.0 m and 11.8 m lengths, bundles are forklift-loaded directly into 20GP or 40GP/40HQ shipping containers (25–28 MT payload) with solid timber chocking, while longer lengths (15 m – 24 m) are shipped break-bulk with rust-preventive protection.

SP-III 400 × 125 × 13 mm Steel Sheet Pile FAQ

Answers to technical engineering questions regarding JIS A 5528 SY295 steel grade, sectional properties, driveability, watertight sealing, and container export logistics.

What are the key technical sectional properties of SP-III (Type 3) steel sheet piles?

Per JIS A 5528 standards, SP-III (Type 3) features the following engineering parameters:

• Dimensions: Effective width 400 mm, system height 125 mm, web/flange thickness 13.0 mm.
• Unit Weight: 60.0 kg/m per single pile; 150.0 kg/m² when installed as a continuous retaining wall.
• Elastic Section Modulus ($W_x$): $223\text{ cm}^3\text{/pile}$ for individual piles; $1,340\text{ cm}^3\text{/m}$ of continuous wall.
• Moment of Inertia ($I_x$): $1,680\text{ cm}^4\text{/pile}$; $8,700\text{ cm}^4\text{/m}$ of continuous wall.

What are the mechanical advantages of JIS A 5528 SY295 structural steel?

SY295 specifies minimum yield strength of 295 MPa, tensile strength of 490–650 MPa, and minimum elongation of 17%. This chemical formulation ensures high impact toughness during repetitive high-frequency vibratory or diesel hammer driving, preventing top pile head mushrooming or clutch splitting when penetrating dense strata. For projects requiring higher load capacities, SY390 or S355GP grades are also available.

How do hot-rolled Larssen interlocks perform in terms of water cut-off and soil retention?

Hot-rolled Larssen interlocks feature a continuous, heavy-gauge claw-and-socket configuration with tight dimensional tolerances. When driven into soil, natural fine sediment fills the interlock cavity, creating a natural mechanical barrier against soil leakage. For high hydrostatic head pressure applications (such as river cofferdams or dock walls), piles can be pre-injected with swellable polyurethane or bitumen-based sealants prior to driving to achieve high watertightness.

Can SP-III hot-rolled sheet piles be extracted and reused multiple times?

Yes. Due to the 13.0 mm robust cross-sectional thickness and hot-rolled structural steel integrity, SP-III sheet piles offer superior durability over cold-formed sheet piles. In temporary shoring and cofferdam applications, SP-III piles can typically be extracted with vibratory hammers and reused for 5 to 10+ driving cycles without significant structural deformation, drastically lowering total project material costs.

What standard lengths are available and how are custom project requirements handled?

Standard stock lengths include 6.0 m, 9.0 m, 12.0 m, 15.0 m, and 18.0 m. Custom lengths up to 24.0 m can be rolled to order. We also provide mill fabrication services including pre-cut driving lifting holes (diameter 40–60 mm), fabricated corner piles (C9, Omega, or welded junction profiles), and driving pile shoe reinforcement.

How are SP-III steel sheet piles packaged and loaded for ocean freight delivery?

Piles are nested in alternating pairs into compact bundles (typically 6 to 12 pieces per bundle), secured with high-tensile steel straps and rated wire lifting loops. Standard 6 m and 11.8 m lengths fit into 20GP and 40GP/40HQ shipping containers (25–28 Metric Tons per container). Longer lengths (12 m to 24 m) are shipped via break-bulk bulk carrier vessels with dedicated crane sling loading and non-slip timber dunnage.
