| Minimum Tensile Strength | 70 ksi [485 MPa] |
| Minimum Yield Point | 39 ksi [270 MPa] |
| Elongation | According to ASTM A328/A328M requirements |
For a specific project, Royal Steel Group can provide the applicable Mill Test Certificate (MTC) showing the actual chemical and mechanical test results for the supplied material.
U-type sheet piles feature a U-shaped cross-section with interlocking edges along both sides. When installed, individual piles connect to form a continuous steel sheet pile wall.
Key Profile Advantages
Continuous interlocking wall system
Efficient use of steel section properties
Suitable for temporary and permanent structures
Compatible with vibratory and impact pile installation
Available in different widths, heights, and thicknesses
Suitable for customized project lengths
The final sheet pile section should be selected according to required wall stiffness, section modulus, bending resistance, soil conditions, water pressure, and installation equipment.
Royal Steel Group can supply different U-type profiles according to project requirements.
| Profile Example | Width | Height | Typical Application |
| U-Type | 400 mm | 100–150 mm | Light retaining structures |
| U-Type | 400 mm | 150–225 mm | Excavation & foundation support |
| U-Type | 500 mm | 200–225 mm | Retaining & marine projects |
| U-Type | 600 mm | 130–225 mm | Heavy-duty infrastructure |
Custom sizes and lengths can be discussed according to engineering drawings and project specifications.

Retaining Walls
U-type steel sheet piles are a common solution for earth retention works, effectively resisting and stabilizing lateral soil pressure on job sites.
Cofferdams
Thanks to their interlocking design, these sheet piles can assemble reliable temporary enclosed structures, allowing safe construction operations in aquatic and waterside environments.
Marine Construction
Common marine engineering applications cover dock structures, coastal seawalls, quay walls, port infrastructure, waterfront retention works and offshore foundational systems.
Excavation Support
Installed around excavation perimeters, U-type sheet piles deliver dependable lateral restraint, serving both temporary construction bracing and permanent structural support needs.
Flood & Water Protection
Steel sheet pile systems are widely adopted for river bank stabilization, flood defense works, drainage system development and soil erosion prevention projects.
The ASTM A328/A328M standard sets forth formal tensile testing requirements for structural-grade carbon steel sheet piles, governing core mechanical performance indicators including tensile strength, yield strength and elongation. This specification is tailored for carbon steel sheet piling products intended for structural use in dock, seawall, cofferdam, excavation and other similar civil and marine construction scenarios.
