THE Advanced Plastic Sheet Piling
THE Advanced Plastic Sheet Piling
THE Plastic Piling Company. is the exclusive UK distributor of THE Advanced Plastic Piling range. Within this range, you will find the universal MultiLock® and the flat faced heavy duty ProLock and Truline.
These were the original plastic sheet piles that didn’t copy conventional sheet pile designs commonly used with steel sheet piling. Specifically the U and Z profiles utilised in hot rolled sheet piling, and the wave corrugation profile of cold formed trench sheets.
The majority of plastic piling available worldwide tends to focused around products that look like a steel sheet pile. Almost based on an assumption that these are the optimal designs, which they are, for steel.
Therefore to compete alongside steel, many of these traditional plastic sheet piles are very heavy duty. There is clearly a big market for these products with many contractors seeking conventional profiles, contractors preferring U piles, engineers often preferring Z piles. One of the biggest sellig features of plastic piling is often its accessories, specifically the range of plastic capping beam options, but also the corner piles and 4 way connectors.
As a consequence plastic piling tends to be marketed based on the benefits, particularly durability, of PVC as a material.
We have many such products as part of our range. For more information please see our U Piles page and our Z Piles page
The Advanced range still offers all the benefits of using recycled uPVC, the low weight, the durability, is maintenance free etc. However, taking advantage of the full capability of producing extrusions in vastly more advanced profiles than is technically possible, or even financially viable with steel.
Plastic piling, through the advanced range is finally offering advantages outside those of the many material benefits of recycled uPVC and the many environmental benefits of working with recycled plastic products.

The images below show the three current products of this range, and the one thing they all have in common is the use of tubular designs. As can be expected these tubes provide much greater rigidity, so allowing for these designs to use the uPVC more efficiently. Producing in turn lighter and more cost effective and affordable sheet piling products.
These designs of plastic sheet piling tend to drive more efficiently than comparably strong traditional plastic piles.
The Advanced designs, specifically MultiLock, prove that plastic piling can be installed easily and rapidly. These products are more usually installed as part of a hybrid system, i.e. in conjunction with steel, timber or concrete.
They also have sufficient strength to be driven as a conventional sheet pile on their own. It is a testament to this range that MultiLock, through its performance and ease of installation, appeals to both professional contractors, as well as the DIY market.
As a sheet pile the advanced range provides:
- more efficient installation
- products that can support much larger piling equipment
- wide range of strength options
- can be used in conjunction with other materials such as steel, wood, concrete, even bamboo.
THE Advanced range are not only high performance products, but also looks great, to the extent that many designers are either using these sheet piles as a feature of the design.
These products are also the most versatile products available. The range offers a wide variety of strength configurations, with an important feature of easy and rapid installation.
When asked now what are the benefits of plastic piling compared to steel, it has to be the advancement in design and the versatility obtained from that.
