Similar in appearance to some steel sheet piles, Liniar’s plastic piling pan trench sheet is extremely versatile and easy to install. The use of plastic pan and piling may also provide a low cost alternative to steel piling in many temporary works situations met during the civil engineering construction of bridges, tunnels, drainage systems, manholes, etc.
It is also stronger than the existing Standard Pile when used in the ‘Z-Ribbed’ format. Its uncluttered design is suitable for installations where appearance is important and the clean look of Plastic Piling can be seen.
Applications
Liniar’s plastic full pan pile offers the ideal solution to a variety of engineering quandaries.
It’s the perfect product to use in bank retention and restoration for riverbanks, streams, ponds, lakes and reservoirs. It’s also ideal for fish farm bank reinforcement, inland marina and waterway walls and banks. Basically, it will perform superbly in any general bank retention in a wide variety of locations.
Also used for trench shoring, Liniar’s plastic full pan pile offers a lightweight, highly cost effective solution. Because it’s much cheaper than the steel alternative, Liniar’s plastic full pan pile can be left in situ after work has been completed.
