ESC-CRU Series
U PROFILE SHEET PILES
The ESC-CRU series is a cold rolled sheet pile profile. U-shaped steel sheet piles have long been familiar to designers and constructors because of the long-standing traditions and technologies, and are widely used for permanent structures, temporarily installed soil-retaining construction and temporary cofferdams. ESC-CRU profiles provide an economic alternative to Hot Rolled U Sheet Piles as they are of similar size and possess similar structural properties, with a section modulus ranging from 500cm3/m all the way up to 4,650cm3/m. With over 50 choices in profile, the CRU series sheet piles allow greater fine tuning in the design for the most economical solution.

Corner Piles
ESC is able to offer 3 options for Corner Pile configurations in the ESC-CRU Series. Option 1 is frequently used when the installation contractor prefers to create their own corner piles on site depending on the as-driven layout. However this produces wastage on the offcut pile. Option 2 allows welding at the mill or on site and provides the installation contractor with more flexibility on corner pile location. Option 3 provides an option with no welding required and provides increased accuracy at corners that are deviated from the typical 90˚ corner.
Other Configurations
ESC-CRU Series Sheet Piles can be combined to create special arrangements. These combined sections presented can greatly amplify the bending strength of a single section by over 5 times. Box Piles with intermediate standard U Piles can be designed. The welded box section can also be incorporated along a certain section of the length where the bending moments are the highest. Please contact our engineering department at engineering@escpile.com if you would like to receive more information about the presented combined pile systems.
