Plastic sheet piles as a low-maintenance solution for any project
Our plastic shoring and sheet pile walls offer the best of both worlds. They combine the technical strength required in soil and water retaining applications with a long service life and minimal environmental impact. Thanks to their composition from recycled plastic, they are resistant to rot, corrosion and UV aging, without compromising stability or aesthetics.
- Low maintenance: no rust, no wood rot, no post-treatment required
- Long lifespan: usable for up to 50-100 years (depending on type and application)
- Sustainable: manufactured from recycled plastics, fully recyclable
- Cost-effective: lower installation and maintenance costs
- MKI: very favorable MKI values
Durable protection
Plastic sheet piles are a remarkably strong and durable solution for bank protection, levee reinforcement and more. The use of JLD plastic sheet piles offers the possibility of decades of maintenance-free soil and water protection. Using available technical parameters and soil data (soundings), a suitable design can be prepared for virtually any situation.
Advantages of our plastic sheet piles
Light weight- Long lifespan
- Environmentally friendly
- Recycled and recyclable
Corrosion resistant
Unlike metallic materials such as steel, plastic sheet piles do not rust even when exposed to water and other corrosive environments. This corrosion resistance extends the life of plastic sheet piles and makes them particularly suitable for applications in wet or salty environments, where corrosion can be a common problem with traditional materials. This extended life makes plastic sheet piles a durable choice.

Plastic sheet piles: alternative to wood and steel
Traditional steel or wooden sheet piles have their limitations
- Wooden shoring and sheet piling may look natural, but unfortunately they also have a limited lifespan. Under the influence of moisture, biological attack (such as pile rot and bacteria), they quickly lose their strength. The result: frequent replacement, extra maintenance and higher costs in the long run.
- Steel sheet piles are an alternative, under heavier loads. But they come with their own disadvantages: high material costs, rusting if not adequately protected, and a significant environmental footprint during production and installation.
The use of plastic sheet piling
Plastic sheet piles, both vinyl and fiberglass reinforced, have already found their way and are already widely used nationally and internationally. In addition, we offer various accessories such as deck gaps for finishing, lock sealing (Gasget) and filters for controlling the correct water level behind the sheet piling/barrier.
Applications in practice
Our plastic sheet piles are widely used in both public and private projects. Some common situations:
1. Business parks with heavy loads.
Plastic sheet piles from JLD International can be used in combination with our anchoring system and embankment structures, for example at locations where heavy equipment or truck traffic operates near the sheet piling. Their structural strength and dimensional stability make them suitable for intensive use.
2. Recreational areas and nature development
In natural and recreational areas, appearance is as important as environmental impact. Our sheet piles are durable, impervious to aging due to moisture, making them a sustainable choice for bank protection in fishponds, nature parks and harbors.
3. Residential neighborhoods and private gardens.
Along ditch banks or ponds, plastic sheet piling provides a neat, safe and durable demarcation. Because the cover-gap material is shatterproof and low maintenance, many municipalities and landscapers choose it in residential areas where safety and appearance come together.

Reinforce sheet piling with a JLD Anchor
To create an optimal design, the use of an impact anchor in combination with a plastic sheet piling or shoring is an ideal tool.

Also available: fiberglass reinforced sheet piles (FRP)
For situations where higher structural strength or stiffness is required, such as for heavy loads or applications in infrastructure and industry, we also offer fiberglass reinforced sheet piles (FRP). These FRP sections combine the light weight of plastic with the strength of composite material (fiberglass) and are ideal for applications where minimal deflection and maximum stability are important.
