HP proof of conformity for steel sheet piles in accordance with Bauregelliste (list of relevant
standards and specifications) A, Part 1
During production, a certified quality management system conforming to DIN EN ISO 9001
upholds a high standard of quality from the
start of the process right through to the
finished steel sheet piling.
In addition, all sections are supplied with the
rolled HOESCH mark. This means it is possible
to trace all approved construction products
and exclude confusion with materials without
conformity mark approval.
This is an essential precondition for the demanded HP proof of conformity for sheet
steel piles in accordance with Bauregelliste A,
Part 1.
The materials flow, identification, traceability
and marking of HSP products are elements of
the quality assurance system built up in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001/2000 and recertified by LRQA from January 1, 2005.
Following inspection by the North-Rhine/ Westphalian Materials Testing Office (Document
No. 11 0001 0 97), HSP Hoesch Spundwand
and Profil GmbH in Dortmund is entitled to
conformity-mark its steel sheet piles produced
in accordance with DIN EN 10248.

Weight
The tolerance between the arithmetic weight (according to section tables) and
weighed weight of the total consignment must be within  5%.
Section interlocks
The interlocks shall have adequate free play so that the piles can be fitted into
each other and they must engage in such a manner that the in-service forces
can be transmitted. The minimum interlock overlap on U and Z piles must not
be less than 4 mm and on straight-web sections not less than 7 mm.

on the positive tolerance can be agreed. In this case, the following values should be chosen: + 0.5 mm for s = 8.5 mm and
+ 6 % s for s > 8.5 mm.

The section moduli stated in this manual
for LARSSEN sections necessitate the
locking of the pile interlocks, either by
factory cramping, factory shear-resistant
welding or site welding.

Handling holes and cramping/welding of LARSSEN sections
The interlocks of double piles prefabricated in the factory are double-cramped
at centers of approx. 0.4 m, while those
of triple piles are double-cramped at
0.8 m centers. Cramps may also be
spaced more closely by arrangement.
When the interlock bars are pushed in
opposite directions, each cramp is capable of absorbing 75 kN after a pushing
distance of 5 mm.

If for manufacturing reasons fabricated
piles (such as corner, junction and adapter piles) cannot be cramped, they are
welded at both ends.

Holes can be provided at a distance of

pressed together by means of a punch at
regular intervals down the back of the
pile.
If for manufacturing reasons fabricated
piles (such as corner, junction and adapter piles) cannot be cramped, they are
welded at both ends.
40
Instructions for the site and
construction:
 When taking up and inserting unpressed piles together, each pile must
be suspended from a lifting hook.
 The position of the cramping mark
should be borne in mind if the walls are
visible.
