Altrad Generation's BVI500 Interlocking Trench Sheets are a versatile steel sheet piling solution suitable for both temporary and permanent groundworks applications. The BVI500 profile is ideal for supporting earth banks and providing permanent reinforcement of waterway banks and service trenches, delivering the strength and speed of overlapping sheets with the added security of an interlocking edge connection.
The durability of the BVI500 and its ease of extraction make these interlocking trench sheets a strong choice for reusable, sustainable construction. In many cases a BVI500 structure performs the permanent function required on its own, such as canal lining or bank reinforcement, eliminating the need for separate temporary works entirely.
Available in lengths from 2.5m to 6.0m, the BVI500 suits a range of excavation depths across civil engineering, drainage, and infrastructure projects. Pair with Quick Release Pitching Shackles for faster installation. Driving Caps protect sheet heads during driving, and Extraction Clamps facilitate safe, controlled removal after use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are BVI500 interlocking trench sheets used for?
A: BVI500 sheets support earth banks in excavations and provide permanent reinforcement for waterway banks and service trenches. The interlocking edge profile creates a more secure wall connection than overlapping sheets, making the BVI500 suitable for both temporary shoring and permanent structural applications.
Q: What is the difference between interlocking and overlapping trench sheets?
A: Overlapping sheets lap over each other at the edges. Interlocking sheets slot together via a shaped profile connection, creating a stronger and more secure joint. This makes interlocking sheets better suited to applications where a tighter wall or higher lateral load resistance is required.
Q: Are BVI500 sheets reusable?
A: Yes. The durable steel construction and ease of extraction make BVI500 sheets reusable across multiple projects, supporting more sustainable groundworks operations.
Q: What lengths are available?
A: BVI500 Interlocking Trench Sheets are available in lengths from 2.5m to 6.0m. Contact your nearest Altrad Generation branch for current stock and availability.
