BD500 Overlapping Trench Sheets from Altrad Generation are a robust steel sheet piling solution used to support earth banks and provide permanent reinforcement of waterway banks and service trenches. The strength, speed, and flexibility of the BD500 profile make these overlapping trench sheets hire and sale a strong choice for both temporary and permanent groundworks applications.
The durability and ease of extraction of the BD500 means the sheets are reusable across multiple projects, supporting sustainable construction practices. Available in lengths from 2000mm to 8000mm, with weights from 55.48kg to 221.94kg, the range suits a wide variety of excavation depths and soil conditions. Where a steel trench sheet structure performs the permanent function required, such as in canal construction or bank reinforcement, the BD500 eliminates the need for separate temporary works entirely.
For steel sheet piling in groundworks, the BD500 pairs with Quick Release Pitching Shackles for faster, more efficient installation. Driving Caps are available to minimise damage to sheet heads during driving, and Extraction Clamps facilitate safe, controlled removal after use.
