EN 10248 S270GP Hot Rolled GU Steel Sheet Pile for Retaining Walls, Marine and Foundation Projects
EN 10248 S270GP GU steel sheet piles are hot-rolled U-type piles, suitable for permanent and temporary retaining works, excavation bracing, cofferdams, quay walls, flood control and foundation projects.
S270GP is a popular grade under EN 10248. It delivers a minimum yield strength of 270 MPa, minimum tensile strength of 410 MPa and minimum elongation of 24%.
The GU profile comes with interlocking clutches on both sides. Each pile locks together to form a continuous steel retaining wall. The GU series covers a full selection of U sheet pile sections, with varying heights, thicknesses, weights and section properties.
Royal Steel Group supplies EN 10248 S270GP GU steel sheet piles for global construction jobs. We offer cut-to-length options, MTC, dimensional inspection and export shipment services.

With its 270 MPa yield strength, S270GP works well for most general sheet pile projects. It strikes a good balance between structural performance, workability and overall project budget.
GU sheet piles are hot‑rolled U-shaped profiles with diversified section heights, wall thicknesses and structural parameters. This wide specification range allows flexible selection to match different load-bearing demands and on-site construction conditions for various engineering projects.
We supply a full lineup of mainstream GU series sheet pile models as below:

All standard GU profiles feature a fixed nominal width of 600 mm, with unique section heights and wall thicknesses for each model. Taking the classic GU 6N as an example, it has a section height of approximately 309 mm and a flange & web thickness of 6.0 mm. Larger-sized GU profiles boast enhanced section modulus and outstanding bending resistance, perfectly suited for heavy-duty engineering scenarios.
Feel free to contact Royal Steel Group to obtain the latest official GU profile datasheets, including precise dimensional data, meter weight, and complete structural section parameters for your project design and quotation.
S270GP GU steel sheet pile is a U-shaped hot-rolled sheet piling product manufactured according to the EN 10248 series.
The “S270” designation corresponds to a minimum yield strength of 270 MPa, while “GP” identifies the grade designation used for sheet piling.
The GU profile has interlocking clutches on both sides. When installed side by side, the clutches mechanically connect adjacent sheet piles to create a continuous retaining wall.
This makes GU sheet piles suitable for projects where the retaining wall needs to provide:
Earth retention
Excavation support
Water cutoff
Lateral load resistance
Temporary construction support
Permanent retaining structures
U-Type Profile
The U-shaped cross-section delivers effective structural performance ideal for retaining wall construction.
Interlocking Joints
Side clutches lock neighbouring piles together to form a continuous barrier, restricting soil and water seepage.
High Structural Versatility
The full GU profile range lets engineers pick suitable section properties based on bending moment, wall height, soil type and site loads.
Flexible Lengths
Royal Steel Group offers standard and cut-to-length sheet piles, matched to project needs, installation gear and transport limits.
For Temporary & Permanent Works
GU sheet piles serve both temporary and permanent structures, subject to site conditions and engineering design.
EN 10248 is the primary European standard governing hot‑rolled steel sheet piles.
Split into two parts, EN 10248‑1 defines technical delivery requirements, including steel grades and mechanical properties, while EN 10248‑2 specifies dimensional and shape tolerances. The most up-to-date versions currently applied in the industry are EN 10248‑1:2023 for material specifications and EN 10248‑2:2024 for dimensional accuracy.
EN 10248‑2:2024 regulates tolerance values for AU, PU and GU U-type sheet piles, covering weight, length, height and thickness. As standard guidance, these profiles carry a permissible mass deviation of ±5% and a length tolerance of ±200 mm under general construction conditions.
Before production, Royal Steel Group verifies the exact standard version and tolerance criteria for every order, ensuring full compliance with project specifications.
Excavation Support
GU sheet piles shore up vertical excavation faces for foundations, basements and underground infrastructure.
Cofferdams
Their interlocking U shape builds temporary or permanent cofferdams for in-water and near-water construction.
Retaining Walls
S270GP GU sheet piles are widely selected for earth retention projects requiring continuous steel barriers.
Marine Construction
Quay & dock walls
Harbour works
Riverbank stabilization
Flood defence
Coastal infrastructure
Foundation Engineering
Sheet piles act as temporary or permanent retaining and foundation support, subject to engineering design.
All standard GU profiles come with a 600 mm nominal width, while each variant differs in section height and wall thickness. GU 6N, for instance, measures around 309 mm high with 6.0 mm thickness for flange and web. Larger GU profiles deliver higher section modulus and stronger bending resistance for heavy engineering loads.
Reach out to Royal Steel Group for the latest GU datasheets, including exact dimensions, weight per metre and full section properties for your design and quotation.
Standard GU sheet piles are normally delivered in hot-rolled, as-rolled condition.
If your project needs extra corrosion protection, Royal Steel Group can work with you on suitable options:
Protective coatings
Paint systems
Anti-corrosion treatments
Custom surface finishes
The final protection scheme should be chosen based on site soil, groundwater, seawater exposure and the required design service life.
Royal Steel Group’s EN 10248 S270GP GU steel sheet piles integrate compliant European standard materials, practical U-profile structural design and flexible project-based supply services, making them a reliable choice for global civil and marine engineering projects.
