Estimating Material Requirements
A seawall, like the foundation of a building,
must be designed and constructed to handle
very high loads and withstand numerous
forces and environmental influences.
A typical seawall is made up of sheet piling, and an
anchor system (typically a wale beam, tie rods, and
“dead-man” anchors).
All components must be made of materials designed
to withstand the forces and environmental conditions
expected. If any one component is overlooked, the
system can fail. High performance seawall components
are available in a number of colors and styles, and are
produced in a wide range of strength capabilities.
Soil Geometry characteristics, surcharge loads and
other environmental conditions are the primary factors
in determining sheet pile requirements. Using these
properties and standard design methods, the wall’s
designer will be able to specify sheet length and the
required structural capacity of the sheet piling and
anchor system components.
For the budgetary and comparison purposes of this
exercise, CMI has evaluated several wall construction
styles in typical soil conditions. These evaluations,
in no way, represent the loading, soil, and/or site
conditions for any particular project or location.
- WARNING - The following charts and tables list typical values for budgetary purposes only. Please rely on your engineer for specific design recommendations. Because of the complexity of geotechnical loading calculations and the susceptibility to extreme change of wall loads with minor changes in local site conditions such as soil parameters, water levels, and surcharge loads, etc., we strongly recommend the use of design professionals who are familiar with local wall construction to determine the required sheet piling and component capacity.

Estimating Material Requirements
Before you begin:Have in mind the architectural style the owner would like to achieve.
Long gone are the days when a seawall was built solely to retain earth. In the new sheet piling market, aesthetics
often drive the structural decisions. A seawall is an investment. Much like a house, you have to live with this
investment day in and day out. Choose the look that you want, and suitable components are available to fill that
desire. A comprehensive sampling of color and architectural variations can be reviewed at www.cmisheetpiling.com.
Wall HeightDetermine the exposed height of the wall (H).
Wall height (H) is defined as the distance from firm soil
at the base of the wall to the top of the wall. This value
will be used throughout the guide.
Determine the Linear Footage of the
wall (L).
Linear Footage (L) is defined as the total
length or distance along the shoreline
the seawall is intended to protect.

Step 1. Choose the wall type.While there is no single “right” way to construct a sheet pile wall, there are different advantages and tradeoffs and
conditions. This guide will evaluate component selection based on these scenarios.

Estimating Material Requirements
Anchor Selection
Anchor selection is heavily dependant on soil
conditions. Your wall relies on the anchor and soil
interaction to resist the forces placed on them by
the wall. As with all components, proper design
techniques should be executed to determine the
suitability and placement of the anchor.
Capping
Capping is the finishing touch to a seawall, and can
some times be used as a top wale. Not all caps can
be used as a wale. When per forming the function
of a wale, the suitability of a cap product is highly
dependant on site conditions and each product should
be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Step 3. Select the anchor system components and capThe anchor system is composed of anchors (buried in stable soil), tie rods (which connect the wall to the anchors),
and a wale (which distributes the load from the wall to tie rods). Capping is used to finish the look of the seawall
and in many circumstances can perform the function of a top wale as well.
Using the charts below select the appropriate wale, anchor rods, and anchor, then choose your capping.
Cap Tie Rod
Wale Anchor
Sheet Pile
Wale Selection
Appearance commonly dictates wale selection. The
wale may lose its “laser straight” look long before
actual failure. For this exercise, a deflection limit of
L/360 was imposed, as well as the maximum allowable
bending moment. The maximum allowable rod load
was also evaluated for a minimum washer size of 4”x4”.
Several wale options are given for each typical scenario
as defined in step 1.
Tie Rod Spacing
It is important to ensure that tie rods fall on the outer
corrugations of the sheet for proper load transfer. This
consideration, as well as budgetary concerns, should
be evaluated when deciding on the tie rod spacing.
Polymer coated steel as well as aluminum rod options
are shown.

Because of the complexity of geotechnical loading calculations and the susceptibility to extreme change of soil loads with minor changes in local site conditions such as soil parameters, water levels, surcharge loads, etc., we strongly recommend the use of design professionals who are familiar with local wall construction to determine the required sheet piling and component capacities.

The time and expense of being short on materials can be crippling. Most contractors add around 3%-5% onto materials (rounded up) to account for the unknown and potential errors in the field.

Estimating Material Requirements
Step 4. Estimate the required sheet pile length.Although proper design techniques will yield the
required sheet pile length, the sheet piling industry
rule of thumb for an anchored wall is “half-in, half out.”
The estimated sheet length is typically two times the
exposed wall height (H). If the soil at the base of the
wall is soft or irregular in depth, longer sheets may be
required.

the length of your wale choice and round up to the next
whole number.

Estimating Material Requirements
Step 7. Estimate the number of Anchor rods and AnchorsDivide the anticipated linear footage (L) of your
wall by the rod spacing (A), round up to the next
whole number, then add 1.
Step 9. Estimate the number of component corners and accessoriesEstimate the number of sheet, cap, and wale corners
that will be required as well as any accessories
desired. Most sheets have around 7-10 degrees of
play in each lock. If a larger angle needs to be made,
corner pieces may be required. Cap and wale corner
inserts are available in 45 and 90 for most products. A
wide array of special washers and other accessories
are available as well.
Step 8. Estimate the number of cap sectionsDivide the anticipated linear footage (L) of your wall by
the length of your cap choice and round up to the next
whole number.
