Rental of reusable sheet piles

The sheet piles are rented out by Hercules to various construction projects in Sweden. When a sheet pile has been used in a project, it is sent back to the Hercules facility where it undergoes processes that enables reuse. The pile is washed and cut and is then ready to be rented out to a new construction project.

Sheet piles are used as a support structure in foundation work where deep excavation occurs, for example in the construction of basements, pumping stations, tunnels and more. By locking sheet piles into each other and forming a barrier, soil masses or water are kept in place.

This EPD considers the average impact of all rental cycles, including the initial cycle for which it was manufactured and the subsequent cycles until it reaches the waste stage. This EPD is not valid for sheet piles that are produced to become permanent in ground after one cycle.
