Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method for monitoring the interlocking engagement of sheet piles (1,2) driven into the ground, which slidably engage each other with their profiled longitudinal edges (1b,2a). The invention furthermore relates to a device for monitoring the interlocking engagement of sheet piles driven into the ground, which slidably engage each other with profiled longitudinal edges, according to the method according to the invention. A contact element (4) comprising an upwardly extending conductor (9) is fitted in the profile of a sheet pile to be installed, near the lower transverse edge thereof, wherein, after the sheet pile has been installed, the conductor is connected, via a power source, to a next sheet pile joining the sheet pile already installed, and if the profiled longitudinal edges of the two sheet piles interlock along the entire length of the sheet piles, the lower transverse edge of the next sheet pile will be brought into electric contact with said contact element. <IMAGE>
