Continuous measuring of sheet pile locks

Whether a sheet pile lock is connected to the previous lock during and after installation can be checked in various ways. The most reliable way of measuring is using electrical sensors. 

ArcelorMittal has developed the AM-SIS declutching detector. It's a continuous measurement method which detects whether the sheet pile is still in the lock over the entire length of the sheet pile.

 

Immediate detection with AM-SIS

The AM-SIS declutching system detects the loosening of the lock immediately. In addition, it also provides the exact height of the malfunction, which is important information to decide on any corrective measures. 

Another advantage of the AM-SIS system is that the declutching detector continues to function even when the sheet pile is at depth. Whether the pile has not been pulled out of its lock can be monitored and checked at a later stage during the project.
