AZ 26-700 Z-Type Steel Sheet Pile | Royal Steel Group
AZ 26-700 Z-type steel sheet pile is a hot rolled Z-profile, widely adopted for retaining walls, cofferdams, marine works, deep excavations and foundation projects. Each pile features a nominal width of 700 mm, unit weight around 102.9 kg/m, and elastic section modulus of 2,600 cm³/m along the wall. AZ 26-700 strikes a good balance between structural performance, wall coverage and installation speed.
Royal Steel Group supplies AZ series sheet piles for global construction and infrastructure developments. We tailor material grades, cut lengths, inspection certificates and shipping solutions to meet individual project requirements.
| Item | AZ 26-700 |
| Profile | Z-Type |
| Nominal Width | 700 mm |
| Section Height | 242 mm |
| Cross-Sectional Area / m of Wall | 187.2 cm²/m |
| Weight / m of Wall | 146.9 kg/m² |
| Weight / Single Pile | 102.9 kg/m |
| Moment of Inertia | 59,720 cm⁴/m |
| Elastic Section Modulus | 2,600 cm³/m |
| Radius of Gyration | 17.86 cm |
| Coating Area* | 1.38 m²/m |
Coating area is based on one side and excludes the inside of the interlocks. The published data also lists 131.0 cm² sectional area and 102.9 kg/m for a single pile, with 187.2 cm²/m and 146.9 kg/m² when calculated per meter of wall.
700mm Wide Profile
At a nominal width of 700 mm, each installed pile covers a substantial wall area. Subject to engineering design, this can cut down the total quantity of piles needed versus narrower alternatives.
High Section Modulus
Boasting an elastic section modulus of roughly 2,600 cm³/m, AZ 26-700 works well for sheet pile walls that need to withstand substantial lateral loads.
Efficient Z-Section Geometry
The Z-profile positions most steel material further from the neutral axis, delivering strong structural performance for temporary and permanent earth retention systems.
Hot-Rolled Interlock Joints
These hot-rolled Z sheet piles feature continuous interlocks connecting neighbouring segments. Full engagement of interlocks is essential to keep the wall intact throughout installation.
Ideal for Large-Scale Works
This profile is a solid choice for projects where engineers require a good mix of load resistance, wide coverage and manageable weight during driving operations.
Royal Steel Group can supply different AZ sheet pile profiles according to project requirements.
Common selection parameters include:
AZ profile
Width
Height
Flange thickness
Web thickness
Weight per meter
Weight per square meter of wall
Moment of inertia
Elastic section modulus
Plastic section modulus
Required pile length
For example, published AZ section data includes profiles such as AZ 18, AZ 18-10/10 and AZ 26, with different dimensions, weights and section properties.

Royal Steel Group can supply multiple EN 10248 grades:
S270GP | S320GP | S355GP | S390GP | S430GP
| Grade | Min. Yield Strength | Min. Tensile Strength |
| S270GP | 270 MPa | 410 MPa |
| S320GP | 320 MPa | 440 MPa |
| S355GP | 355 MPa | 480 MPa |
| S390GP | 390 MPa | 490 MPa |
| S430GP | 430 MPa | 510 MPa |
Among the grades we supply, S430GP delivers the highest rated yield strength. It is a viable option when project designs call for sheet piles with greater load capacity. That said, final grade selection must follow engineering design outcomes and project specifications.
Retaining Walls
Deployed for both permanent and temporary earth retention structures to contain lateral soil pressure.
Cofferdams
Well suited for temporary construction enclosures for foundation, bridge, port and waterway projects.
Deep Excavation
Serves as excavation support systems for underground works and foundation construction.
Marine Construction
Works for quay walls, waterfront developments, riverbank stabilization and other structures subject to soil and hydrostatic pressure.
Port & Infrastructure Projects
Thanks to its wide profile and high structural efficiency, AZ sheet piles are a reliable option for large infrastructure schemes.
Depending on project specifications and applicable standards, AZ sheet piles can be supplied in commonly requested grades such as:
S240GP
S270GP
S320GP
S355GP
S390GP
S430GP
Q235B / Q355B
For each project, the required grade should be confirmed against the engineer's design, applicable standard, and purchasing specification rather than selecting a grade based only on nominal strength.
Common project lengths can be supplied according to engineering requirements, including 6 m, 9 m, 12 m, 15 m and 18 m. Custom lengths can also be discussed for project orders.
For longer retaining walls, the actual pile length should be determined from:
Excavation depth
Soil conditions
Groundwater level
Surcharge loads
Required embedment depth
Bending moment
Corrosion allowance
Temporary or permanent use
AZ 26-700 sits within the AZ-700 series and can be considered alongside profiles such as AZ 24-700 and AZ 28-700. The published data shows increasing section height, weight, moment of inertia, and section modulus as the profile number increases.
| Profile | Width | Height | Weight | Section Modulus |
| AZ 24-700 | 700 mm | 241 mm | 95.7 kg/m | 2,430 cm2/m |
| AZ 26-700 | 700 mm | 242 mm | 102.9 kg/m | 2,600 cm2/m |
| AZ 28-700 | 700 mm | 243 mm | 110.0 kg/m | 2,760 cm2/m |
These published profile values can help buyers and engineers compare sections during preliminary selection. Final selection should follow the project's structural calculations.
