Abstract: A connecting profile for connecting sheet piles of a sheet pile wall includes a substantially straight central strip, and a first, second, and third hook strip extending from the central strip. The first second, and third hook strips each include a curved section and a substantially straight end section extending from the curved section and forming a free end of the hook strip.

Abstract: A pipe pile, for use in a foundation or a retaining wall, comprises a substantially cylindrical, and preferably steel, pipe body extending longitudinally between two opposite ends, the pipe body being formed of a plurality of pipe sections, interlocked or welded together end-to-end and arranged on a common central longitudinal axis between the two ends. All of the pipe sections have substantially the same outside diameter; however, two or more pipe sections have differing inside diameters, and thus a differing wall thickness, between the two ends of the pipe pile.

Abstract: A universal connecting element which is capable of connecting sheet pile wall components, such as sheet piles, beam piles and other sheet pile connectors, that have various types of interlocks such as Larssen locks, cold formed hooks and knob and claw locks. The connecting element includes a reverse “S” shaped profile to which has been added either a neck and head strip, for connection with a claw strip, or a claw strip, for connection with a head strip, or both.

Abstract: A connecting profile for connecting sheet piles of a sheet pile wall includes a substantially straight central strip, and a first, second and third hook strip, extending from the central strip, wherein the first, second and third hook strip include each a curved section and a substantially straight end section extending from the curved section and forming a free end of the hook strip.

Abstract: A pile arrangement for creating a wave barrier for waves in a body of water includes at least a first module of piles driven into the floor of the body of water at a first distance from the shoreline. The arrangement also includes at least a second module of piles driven into the floor at a second distance from the shoreline that is greater than the first distance. A method for creating a wave barrier for waves in a body of water includes driving at least a first module of piles into the floor of the body of water, and driving at least a second module of piles into the floor at a second distance from the shoreline that is greater than the first distance.

Abstract: A weld-on connecting element fox a pipe sheet pile wall assembly includes (1) a base end configured to be welded to a pipe pile wall member, (2) an elongate neck strip having a substantially uniform width and having a length, extending from the base end along a predetermined main assembly direction (X) to an opposite end, which length is at least five times greater than said width, and (3) a claw strip provided at the opposite end having two claw strip members that form an oval-shaped lock chamber with their free ends facing each other to form an open jaw. The claw strip is adapted to partially surround and interlock with a head strip of another, matching connecting element. The space between the two claw-strip members is at least partially filled with a malleable sealant material, installed prior to welding the connector to the pipe piles.
