Combi-Wall s L.B. Foster is dedicated to offering the most efficient combi-wall system for your needs through utilizing a variety of systems. Using domestic wide flange beams, extruded connectors from Pile Pro, and PZC sheet pile from Gerdau, L.B. Foster is able to put together the right package. s using the Wide Flange s and PZC sheet pile are 100% melted and manufactured in U.S.A. The systems shown represent only a portion of the variations possible. Intermediate sheet pile function as earth retention and for load transfer. The sheet pile is only required to resist active earth pressures down to the zero earth pressure level and may extend below this level as a safety measure. Shortening the lengths of the intermediate sheet pile will reduce the cost of the job and facilitate installation. Specifying systems can be done either with a beam-connection-sheet or PZC-B configuration. The connection would be either a C for extruded connector, or F for cut flange (i.e. W36 x 135-C-PZC 18). The PZC-B method is outlined in the Gerdau Sheet Piling Handbook starting on page 10.
Combi-Wall s Combi-Walls are piling walls that are comprised of high modulus structural components interspaced by lighter sheet piles. The high modulus components - known as king piles - can be tubular, box, bearing or other types of fabricated piles. It is essential that a stable, heavy, adequately rigid and straight pile-driving template frame, adapted to suit the length and weight of the pilings, be provided. The king piles are fixed into position within the template using welded bracket guides which take into account width tolerances. Driving of the king piles must be carried out with extreme care in order to ensure that they are embedded straight and vertical, or at a prescribed batter, thereby guaranteeing that they are parallel to each other and at the required spacing. The driving sequence of the king piles must ensure that the pile toe encounters soil uniformly on its total circumference and not just on one side. This is achieved by driving in the following sequence (large driving step) At least, however, the following sequence should be observed: (small driving step) In general, all of the king piles should be driven in sequence to full penetration without interruption. Following successful completion of this, the intermediate light piling sections can be set and driven. During the setting and driving operations of the king piles, a constant check (using theodolites) should be made of their alignment in relation to the wall. When the guide frames have been removed, a final survey should be made to ensure that the deviations in the distance between the king piles are within the acceptable tolerances in order to allow the proper installation of the sheet pile. However, if the deviations are outside the specified or practical tolerances, then either the intermediate piles have to be adjusted or the king piles must be extracted and re-driven. To overcome difficult driving conditions, it may be possible to use: jetting; excavating inside the king piles; or any other the ground pre-treatment methods normally adopted for sheet piling.
