The term sheet piling refers to any retaining wall type that is a installed into the ground by driving or pushing rather than pouring or injection and b is of relatively thin cross section and low weight so that the weight of the wall does not assist in the wall s stability. The surface of soil on the water side is referred to as the mud line or dredge line.

Steel sheet piling steel sheet piles are long structural sections with a vertical interlocking system that create a continuous wall.
