AZ jagged walls

AZ^® sections threaded in reverse form special arrangements that can be used in applications that require only small section modulus and moment of inertia, but which for instance need a minimum thickness or a higher watertightness.

The AZ jagged wall represents a very economical solution for sealing screens: reduced height of the wall, constant thickness (for the lighter AZ sections), low driving resistance (no plugging at the toe), better watertightness due to less interlocks per running meter of wall (the imperviousness of the wall can be improved with sealing systems),….

Note that due to the low stiffness of the elements, the length of the sheet piles used in such an arrangement is in most soil conditions rather limited.

Typical applications are river and bank reinforcement, shallow trenches, containment barriers,….
