Sheet Pile Retaining Wall at Waterford Transport Hub, Ireland
Project Overview
The Waterford Transport Hub required a sheet pile retaining wall to protect a nearby railway line. The project needed a fast, precise installation with minimal disruption to railway operations. Our team used a Liebherr Piling Rig to complete the work efficiently and safely.
Project Challenges
The retaining wall was positioned close to an active railway line, requiring precision in execution and strict compliance with safety regulations.
The site had varying soil strata, necessitating careful assessment to determine the most effective piling technique.
Given the transport hub’s ongoing development and railway operations, the project had to be completed efficiently, avoiding major disruptions.
The Sheet Pile Retaining Wall
To address these challenges, we implemented a sheet piling solution using our Liebherr Piling Rig, ensuring:
The sheet piles provided a durable and effective retaining solution, preventing soil movement and enhancing the stability of the railway embankment. Whilst our Liebherr Piling Rig facilitated the precise and rapid driving of steel sheet piles into the ground, significantly reducing installation time.
Project Outcome
The retaining wall stabilised the embankment and prevented soil movement.
The project was finished within schedule, meeting all requirements.
Work was done efficiently with limited impact on transport operations.
Conclusion
This project shows our ability to deliver practical and efficient retaining walls with sheet piles. Using the Liebherr Piling Rig, we installed a strong and reliable retaining wall, ensuring railway stability and smooth project execution.
