PLASTIPILE OVERVIEW

Due to its unique, patented interlocking geometry, it can be joined on 1, 2, 3 or 4 sides in a modular manner to form a watertight structure of infinite width or length.

Plastipile™ is made from recycled plastic waste embracing new technology that produces a structurally sound, solid plastic pile.

Some fields of application include:

Wetland rehabilitation:
Weir structures with water regulators, carp screens and fish passages

Marina developments:
Wharves, jetties and water edge treatment for wave mitigation

Aquaculture:
Tank walls

Industry and council:
Chemical barriers, effluent evaporation basins

Erosion control:
Seawalls, check dams

Waterways:
Canal walls, groynes, pump wells, bulkheads

Flexible	Tolerates ground movement Impact resistant
Watertight seal	No seal required
Interlocking geometry	Flexibility in structured design
Buoyant and lightweight	Ease of installation
Pest resistant	Low maintenance
No rot or rust	Low maintenance
Non-obtrusive structure	Minimal disturbance
Smooth finish	Ease of handling

INSTALLATION

Plastipile Plastic Sheet Piling can be pile driven using a specialised pile driving machine, either working from a barge over water or from a the bank as required.

Plastipile is installed using various methods depending on the environmental factors:

• Soil/ground conditions
• Site is inundated with water
• The depth of the Plastipile wall
• Site isolation or there is poor access, by land or water

Plastipile can be used in conjunction with regulator gates, fish passages, trash racks, carp screens and walkways as required. Erosion projection mats and earth anchors can also be incorporated into the design as required.

SPECIFICATIONS

Currently the Plastipile™ is available in 100 mm x 100 mm modules of lengths up to 3.4 m, although manufacturing will soon be by continuous extrusion allowing for great flexibility in length of the piles.
