Foreword
This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 288 "Execution of special geotechnical works", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 1999, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 1999.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
The present standard expands on design only when necessary, but provides full coverage of the execution and supervision requirements for sheet pile wall structures.
It has been drafted on the basis of existing Codes of Practice and general available expertise which can be found in specialized literature.
1 Scope
This Standard specifies requirements, recommendations and information concerning the execution of permanent or temporary sheet pile wall structures in accordance with 2.4 of ENV 1991-1:1994 and the handling of equipment and materials.
It does not give requirements and recommendations for the installation of specific parts of the structure such as ground anchorages and piles which are covered by other codes.
It applies only to steel sheet pile walls, combined walls and wooden sheet pile walls.
Composite structures such as Berliner walls and sheet pile walls in combination with shotcrete, are not the subject of this standard.
