The main engineering advantages of sheet pile walls over other types of wall are:

• the extremely favourable ratio of steel cross-section to moment of resistance,

• their suitability for almost all soil types,

• their suitability for use in water,

• the fast progress on site,

• the ability to carry loads immediately,

• the option of extracting and reusing the sections,

• their easy combination with other rolled sections,

• the option of staggered embedment depths,

• the low water permeability, if necessary using sealed interlocks, and

• there is no need for excavations.
