PAU and PAL U type sheet piles are mostly used in Europe, especially in the Netherlands. The soil is sand, which means wider width and thinner sheet pile is the ideal choices. Manufactured of very thin steel coils, PAU and PAL sections are lightweight and convenient to be handled, allowing fast and high-efficient installation. ShunliSteel can offer extremely high strength even though they are being made of thin steel coils because of the economic design of the cross-sectional deimensions.
U type sheet piles were first manufactured in UK in 1955 and now many new specifications have been designed for different applications. Due to the excellent workability and water-tightness and cross-sectional properties, U sheet piles have been regarded as a reliable civil engineering material.
