Pile Variations
There are various types of wall elements utilised in construction. Several types of both steel and concrete sheet piles are currently applicable to the Press-in Method, they are illustrated below. The appropriate pile type should be chosen according to its purpose, length and the applicable ground conditions.

Proven Quality as Prefabricated Structural Materials
Prefabricated piles are manufactured by automated production in the factory and guarantee uniform quality. In addition they can be produced beforehand and stored easily in the time when material costs are cheap. The appropriate supply of the prefabricated piles allows the completion of construction work on site at the earliest possible moment.
Wide Range of Application
Self-standing wall structures can be constructed only by installing prefabricated piles from the ground. The structure also can be increased the strength by choosing strut structure, tie-rod structure or double pile structure. Prefabricated piles are widely applicable not only to temporary structures such as coffering and retaining wall, but also to permanent structures such as river revetment, quay wall, road retaining wall, and building frame of underground facility.
Shortening Work Duration
Various shapes, lengths and thicknesses of prefabricated piles contribute to economic design. The appropriate use of prefabricated piles attains overall cost saving through a shortening of the work duration and a reduction of labour. In addition some of the steel sheet piles can be used repeatedly as the steel products for temporary structures, it is possible to reduce construction cost.
