Altrad Generation's L8 Interlocking Trench Sheets are a versatile steel sheet pile profile suitable for both temporary and permanent applications in earth retention and waterway bank reinforcement. The interlocking edge design creates a secure, continuous connection between adjacent sheets, providing superior lateral strength compared to overlapping profiles and reducing groundwater inflow across the retained face.
Available in five lengths from 2000mm to 6000mm, the L8 suits service trench support, earth bank retention, and canal or waterway bank reinforcement. The strength, speed of installation, and ease of extraction make L8 sheets practical for reuse across multiple projects, supporting sustainable construction practices. Galvanised versions are available on request for applications requiring additional corrosion resistance.
L8 Interlocking Trench Sheets are available for hire and purchase from Altrad Generation branches across the UK and Ireland.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are L8 interlocking trench sheets used for?
A: L8 Interlocking Trench Sheets support earth banks and retain ground in service trenches, waterway banks, and canal reinforcement. The interlocking profile provides secure sheet-to-sheet connection for both temporary excavation support and permanent earth retention structures.
Q: How do L8 interlocking sheets differ from overlapping sheets?
A: L8 Interlocking Sheets use an interlocking edge profile that slots adjacent sheets together, creating a stronger, more continuous connection than overlapping profiles. This makes them suitable for applications requiring higher lateral strength or water exclusion.
Q: What lengths are L8 interlocking sheets available in?
A: L8 Interlocking Sheets are available in five lengths: 2000mm (28.79kg), 3000mm (43.19kg), 4000mm (57.59kg), 5000mm (71.96kg), and 6000mm (86.38kg).
