Overview

The PilePro Group’s patented O-Pile systems (steel pipes with

welded O-Pile connectors) offer comprehensive pipe-to-pipe andpipe-to-sheet solutions for high capacity retaining structures.

Previous methods of connecting pipes were complex, slow anddifficult to get right. O-Pile connectors provide a unique ability toconnect continuous O-Pile systems (pipe-to-pipe) in a number ofconfigurations that give varying levels of pipe spacing. Same istrue for combined O-Pile systems (pipe-to-sheet) that utilize eitherO-Pile or PilePro connectors for high capacity combined wallstructures.

Simply, O-Pile systems offer a more efficient and cost-effective

alternative to both traditional U- or Z-shaped steel retaining wallsystems as well as slurry, secant or contiguous concrete walls.

Project: Hatem Memorial Bridge

Objective: Strengthen bridge foundation

Solution: WOM/WOF-XL connectors were used

to form high capacity pipe-to-pipe cofferdamsat the Hatem Memorial Bridge in North-EastMaryland.

The high bending strength and stiffness of acontinuous pipe-to-pipe wall was preferred over

other options to resist over 90 feet of waterpressure and form a safe a excavation for the

contractor.

WOM/WOF-XL connectors provided the highestdegree of tension and bending strength availableto secure the pipe-to-pipe connection and ensurepile integrity after hard driving.

Unmatched System Efficiency

Benefits

1. Dial-in Safety — O-Pile is the only pipe-to-pipe andpipe-to-sheet systems in which you can "dial-in" thickness tomeet your specific structural load and durability needs to ensureoverall safety.Thickness can be increased specifically at thesplash- and low-water zones for increased durability. Additionalcostly measures, such as coatings, special steel grades orcathodic protection become unnecessary. This gives the mostefficient use of steel and the most cost-effective solutionfor durability.

2. Unmatched Strength — O-Pile systems offer unmatchedefficiency particularly where high capacity structures areinvolved. O-Pile systems achieve strength by increasing pipediameter, which spreads weight gained over an increasedwidth. This minimizes weight gain per sqft (sqm) and radicallyimproves efficiency. This is in stark comparison to how a beambased combi-wall systems develops strength.

To illustrate this efficiency, below is a comparison of strength toweight or an O-Pile system and a King pile system.

Call out box shows how thickness can be “dialed-in” to meet

safety needs (e.g. structural load and durability).

O-Pile systems clearly show as the section modulus increases there is a minima

increase in weight. This is in direct comparison to the steep gain in weight a Kingpile beam system experiences to obtain a similar gain in strength.

Benefits

3. Load Bearing Capacity — The surcharge and lateral

load-bearing capacity of pipe sheet pile is significantly higherthan standard U-or Z-type sheet piles or combined wall systemsof similar weight, because of its natural geometry.

4. Superior Durability — O-Pile systems have a distinctadvantage over traditional steel sheet piles by having aminimized exposed surface relative to King pile systems. Pipesheet pile that is used in corrosive soil and/or water need onlyhave a corrosion allowance factored for the exterior surface of

the pile.

5. Drive Through Rock — Using the patented WOM/WOF-S

connectors and DTH drilling, O-Pile systems are the onlypipe-to-pipe solution that can be driven into solid rock.

Compared to driving a conventional beam or pipe sheet pile

combi-wall, the installation using a continuous O-Pile systemwith WOM/WOF-S connectors is much less challenging dueto one single fact: O-Piles are supported throughout theirinstallation, whereas king pile combi-wall systems are not.

Installation using WOM/WOF-S connections are simplifiedby the use of a template and panel installation method. The

installation of O-Piles is similar to driving sheet pile pairs ina basic two frame template. At no stage is there a pipe pileentirely unsupported throughout its length as it is driven tograde. Each pipe is supported by adjacent pipes with a smalllead ahead of the rest, ensuring accurate wall alignment.

Benefits

1. Patented O-Pile Connectors – Developed to solve themyriad of constructability problems associated with the use ofpoorly designed thin walled connections for pipe-to-pipe, O-Pile

WOM/WOF connectors, in various sizes, are structural gradeand are tested to ensure optimum performance in use.

2. Interlock Strength — Tensile tests on the WOM/WOF-XL

connector (19.5 Kips/inch), clearly show the high pull outresistance of this connection. In physical laboratory tests theWOM/WOF-XL had a pull out capacity of 19.5 Kips/inch(348mt/m). The high ductility of the extruded steel content ofthe WOM/WOF-XL ensured capacity was obtained withoutfracture of the material. Hot-rolled steel would not have

performed as well. In comparison, the pull out capacity of theWOM/WOF-XL was 2.7 times that of a Larssen connection.

3. Positional Flexibility — All O-Pile connectors have a widenedbase for stability on the pipe surface and each connector providesto to 20 degrees of rotation to ease placement.

4. Pre-Applied Sealant — WADIT, a globally proven sheetpiling interlock sealant, comes pre-applied in the WOF interlock

chamber before delivery to the jobsite. WADIT is explored morein-depth on page 17.

5. Design Flexibility & Easier Installation —This gives thedesigner unparalleled flexibility in targeting design capacity.

It gives contractors, a connection that is easy to install, fewerpipe piles to be driven and improved scheduling overall. To viewcontinuous O-Pile system examples see page 15 or visitwww.isheetpile.com to custom design O-Pile systems.

The elegance of O-Pile systems, both continuous andcombined, are the seemingly endless configurations – whichincludes variable pipe diameter, wall thickness as well as amyriad of superior O-Pile and PilePro connectors to chosefrom – that help ensure the chosen system is the most efficientand cost-effective high capacity solution.
