Installation Overview

• Can be installed as a new wall or in front of an old concrete wall
• Standard installation procedures and equipment — small equipment can be used creating less destruction in an already developed property
• Provides strength needed for projects without heavy panels, expensive equipment or large crews
• Lightweight—can be hand-carried to the job site
• A mandrel is available for difficult soil conditions or for sheets 20 feet or longer
• Pin pile method provides solution for pinning toe of wall into shallow rock
• Flat profile makes it easy to form a concrete cap
• Solutions for various types of wall projects – seawalls, bulkheads, retaining walls, headwalls, cutoff walls, and more

There are a variety techniques and methods to install the Truline retaining wall system with standard installation equipment. The type of equipment used depends on the type of soil and the length of the Truline sheet piling.

• Driving – This is the most frequently used method for installing sheet piling with granular soil. In this method the piling is pressed into the soil using vibratory hammers or plates. With hard soil and/or longer sheet piling, a steel guided mandrel can be used.
• Jetting – Jetting of air or water helps loosen, soften or remove the soil under the sheet piling. Jetting along with driving is very effective.
• Digging – Often when there are hard soils or rock, a trench can be dug first to set the sheet piling into.
