Utilisation of Sheet Piles in the OCENSA’s Right of Way for Slope Stabilisation and Bioengineering Works

On the maintenance carried out by OCENSA for slope stabilization in areas with geotechnical issues, protection of lateral streams’ banks, maintenance of the Right of Way (RoW) embankment or access roads, sheet piles have been successfully used. The paper describes the different alternatives and their uses. Among them are: terraces to facilitate drainage and plant recovery, PVC sheet piles for protection of stream banks, sheet piles made of carbon steel pipe and steel deck in which the piles can be driven by percussion or previously excavated with drilling machine.
