ADVANTAGES
-
50+ year design life - Due to its superior corrosion resistance, ESC Vinyl Sheet Piles can be installed with the confidence of performance even after 50 years
-
Cost Efficiency - both from installation and long term cost savings due to superior corrosion resistance
-
Consistent Appearance - Wood fades, paint chips and steel rusts with time. With Vinyl sheet piles, this problem is virtually eliminated so a lasting, aesthetic finish of vinyl sheet piles can be expected
-
UV Resistance - The PVC material can be engineered to be resistant to the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun
-
No Toxic Coatings - No coatings are required, which may be detrimental to the environment.
-
Not Affected by Marine Borers - Small mollusks or crustaceans in the ocean can cause devastating effects over a period of time to traditional timber piling. Vinyl Sheet Piling offers an attractive alternative that is unaffected by these organisms.
-
Easy Installation - Vinyl sheet piles do not swell like wood, it is also manufactured with strict dimensional tolerances. Compared to steel sheet piles, vinyl sheet piles can be up to 40 times lighter per square meter making it much easier to handle. Driving can also be completed under certain conditions by pressing down with an excavator or a compact vibrohammer.
PESC Vinyl Sheet Pile
PESC-24 vinyl sheet pile, is a box profile that offers unmatched versatility and innovative characteristics that promote durability and excellent resistance to corrosion, impact, and ultraviolet rays. This product is designed to provide superior performance in a wide range of soil and environmental conditions, making it ideal for permanent applications. Additionally, its lightweight nature allows for easy handling and installation, reducing overall project time and labor costs. Vinyl sheet piles manufactured by Pietrucha ESC Inc. meet the following industry standards:
ASTM D8427-21: Standard Specification for Rigid Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) Exterior Profiles Used for Sheet Piling; USACE EM 1110-2-2502: US Army Corps of Engineers Specification for Flood Walls and other Hydraulic Retaining Walls; Other Local and National Specifications
PESC Vinyl Sheet Pile Profile (Made in USA)
Vinyl Sheet Piles have been successfully utilized for over 20 years. ESC’s 3rd generation of vinyl sheet piles incorporates design improvements that improve driveability, increase leakage, and reduce the overall construction cost of your project.
ECOSEAL WATER-TIGHT INNOVATION
If project requirements demand, the product can be manufactured with an integrated gasket. It is also especially engineered to address the increasing demands of clients for a high degree of water-tightness by employing a specialized tightening solution based on the use of gaskets.
The profile is equipped with soft PVC gaskets which are co-extruded into the interlocks during the manufacturing process. The shape and size of PVC gaskets depend on the type of vinyl sheet piles.
Ecoseal PESC-24 is an excellent product for environmental protection, sealing contaminated areas, combating seepage and piping, and flood control infrastructure.
EXTRUDED GASKET
OPTIMIZED CONNECTOR
ESC’s connectors feature a hybrid of Larssen Interlocks of Steel Sheet Piles and traditional ball and socket connectors in 1st and 2nd generation vinyl sheet pile designs. This results in an extremely durable connector system which provides a superior resistance to declutching to other piles in the industry.
WEB STIFFENERS FOR CERTAIN Z PROFILES
Multiple web stiffeners are engineered to provide maximum shear resistance while minimizing the profile weight.
VINYL SHEET PILE TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
CONTAINMENT & CUTOFF SYSTEMS
CUT-OFF & CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS
ESC Vinyl Sheet Piles are frequently the optimal solution for fluid containment projects. Vinyl PVC is a inert material that can exhibit superior chemical resistance, water corrosion resistance. The interlocks of the sheet pile can be coextruded with a sealing membrane that further improves cutoff performance. Applications include but are not limited to:
• Groundwater cut-off
• Chemical containment
• Fluid Seepage Barriers
• Protection of Foundation Structures
WATER CONTROL
WATER CONTROL SOLUTIONS
Vinyl PVC Sheet Piles can be utilized for water control structures that function by altering the flow of water in a pond, drainage channel or stream. ESC sheet piles have been utilized for water control applications for decades. Examples of utilizing vinyl sheet piles relevant to water control systems include:
• Baffle Walls for water or waste water flow control
• River Weirs
• Pond Linings
• Channel Linings for agricultural applications
• River Diversion
• Mining drainage systems
FLOOD CONTROL
FLOOD PROTECTION
Vinyl PVC Sheet Piles can be utilized for flood protection structures as an:
• Flood Walls / Flood Levee
• Stabilization of Dams
• Protection of Piping

INSTALLATION OF PESC VINYL SHEET PILES
The first installation step depends on the vibratory hammer type and the length of sheet piling to be driven. For a Movax vibratory hammer, the excavator operator lowers the boom and moves the vibratory hammer so that the mandrel rests horizontally on the ground or a platform. With the mandrel positioned so, the PVC sheet pile is inserted into it all the way up to the mandrel head / length adjustment slider.
Install each vinyl sheet pile so that its female interlock slides onto the male interlock of the previously driven sheet. The sheet pile locks should be located closer to land side, as shown in the drawing.
