bySheet piles go digital: measure, analyse, troubleshoot
The innovative SmartSheetPile solution, launched during Bauma 2022, is designed to make infrastructure safer and more cost-effective. Multiple sensors monitor the sheet pile walls of quays, bridges, or flood protections systems in real time measuring a variety of parameters in order to analyse performance, reduce maintenance costs, and prevent failures.

SmartSheetPile: preventive maintenance and extended lifetimes thanks to continuous data
SmartSheetPile provides data in real time and detects potential structural usage weaknesses at most early stages. The goal of this next generation sheet piling solution is to enable preventive maintenance and extended project lifetime. With this technology, sensors built into the sheet pile collect high quality and precise data that can be analysed and used for informed decision making.
Relevant information on the structural condition of the sheet pile wall - for example, regarding corrosion, deformation, or inclination - can be displayed on online monitoring dashboards or even fed into the asset’s digital twin. The SmartSheetPile is able to identify accidental or weather-related damage and sound an alarm in the event of a disaster. For example, potential flooding could be prevented.
Explaing the benefits of the technology, Tapas Rajderkar, Chief Marketing Officer of ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products, says: "Monitoring the infrastructure in real time will enable early warning of potential failure risks so that preventive measures can be taken. This reduces maintenance costs, prevents failures, and increases the life of the structure. We already offer such tailor-made solutions today. Beyond that, we are developing SmartSheetPile further for a standardised industrial launch in the coming years."
