Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method for driving a sheet pile wall into the ground by successively driving sheet piles which slidingly engage one another by means of complementary longitudinal edge formations that comprise a catching and guiding groove, whereby each time a next sheet pile is lowered with its respective longitudinal edge formation from above into the longitudinal edge formation of a sheet pile that has already been driven into the ground, and whereby each time prior to the driving of a sheet pile a deformable strip is applied at at least one of the longitudinal edge formations of that strip, said strip being attached with one longitudinal edge to the part of the pile sheet that is situated adjacent the guiding groove in said longitudinal edge formation, in such a way, that the strip freely extends across the guiding groove. According to the invention this aim is achieved in that the strip is fastened to the sheet pile in such a position, that it extends from the fastening point directly to the confining edge of the guiding groove. <IMAGE>
