One, Steel Sheet Piling Organization
After steel sheet piles are delivered to the construction site, they must be organized. During the inspection, a factory-certified quality certificate is required, and the steel sheet pile model and performance must meet the specifications. Steel sheet piles that have been organized and passed the inspection should be categorized, numbered, and logged before storage. It is essential to ensure that there is no water accumulation inside the locking mechanism of the steel sheet piles.
Inspection of steel sheet pile locking sockets
A 2-meter-long standard steel sheet pile of the same type and specification with uniform locking grooves is used as a reference. All steel sheet piles of the same model undergo locking groove inspection. Locking grooves found to have warping or "dead-end" phenomena are to be corrected.
Section III: Check of Steel Sheet Piling Width
Steel sheet piles must undergo width inspections to ensure that the locking slots on both sides of each pile are parallel, and to maintain the width of the sheet piles within the same specification as much as possible. Each sheet pile should be measured for width at three points—top, middle, and bottom—using a steel ruler, ensuring that each pile's width is consistent and the difference between adjacent piles is within 1 cm. Dense measurements should be taken to detect any local deformation visible to the naked eye, and sheet piles exceeding the allowable deviation should be avoided as much as possible.
Four: Pile Plate Maintenance
Steel sheet piles that are found to be damaged, bent, or with不合格lockouts before installation must be repaired. Depending on the actual condition of the steel sheet piles, methods such as hot forging, cold bending, splicing, welding, trimming, or extending can be employed.
Fifth, reserved holes for hoisting and extracting piles.
When steel sheet piles require reserved lifting and removal holes, the holes should be pre-drilled before construction. Reinforcement plates should be welded to the removal holes to prevent them from breaking during removal.
