Sheet Piles:
In response to the destructive impact of water and the continuous need to modernize hydraulic structures protecting people and infrastructure from disasters such as floods and landslides, we made the decision to begin the production of vinyl sheet piles – “Ecological Barrier Profiles.” The foundation of this decision was our many years of experience in producing a wide range of PVC granulates, combined with the social responsibility of creating products that improve the effectiveness of structures serving humanity. Additional arguments included unfavorable geological and hydrodynamic phenomena, as well as seepage observed over the years in flood embankments.
PVC sheet piles produced by ESTI POLYMER consistently support the civil and water engineering sectors, finding numerous applications in hydraulic, civil, and industrial construction. Ecological Barrier Profiles are characterized by high resistance to biological, atmospheric, and mechanical factors, as well as competitive pricing, making them an excellent alternative to steel sheet piles and wooden palisades.
The use of vinyl sheet piles reduces material, installation, and transportation costs. They are environmentally friendly, completely resistant to rodent damage, easy to combine with other building materials (caps can be made of plastic, wood, concrete, or steel), require no maintenance, do not corrode, and are resistant to UV radiation and seawater. Thanks to interlocking joints, they create a tight barrier and adapt to natural shorelines, enabling the formation of both external and internal curves.
Main Applications of EPZ Sheet Piles:
- protection and regulation of riverbanks, lakes, ponds, and other water reservoirs
- reinforcement and effective sealing of flood embankments
- construction of dikes (effectively protecting the structure against underwashing)
- construction of retaining walls with tie-back systems and anchors (ideal for securing slopes, excavations, and landslides)
- protection of banks with variable water levels
- protection against erosion and destruction, as well as limiting water infiltration
- creation of barriers for environmentally endangered areas (e.g., isolating groundwater or other water reservoirs from ecological hazards such as landfills or industrial zones)
