Steel sheet piles
Steel sheet piles offer a timely and cost-effective solution for many of the problems modern ports are currently facing. A sheet pile wall placed in front of an existing quay wall allows the harbour bed to be dredged to depths required by modern vessels.
Sheet piles have also proven their efficiency when it comes to the construction of new ports. The straightforward installation and reduced workforce requirement allows the new port to be operational in a short period of time.
Through constant innovation, today’s U and Z shaped piles form some of the most advanced solutions for constructing and deepening harbour walls.
To offer the best products on the market which meet the requirements of the dynamic shipping industry, ArcelorMittal’s research team is continuously developing and redefining their sheet pile range. The latest development includes the addition of the GU 11 N range to the U section family in 2017.
With their new EcoSheetPile™ & EcoSheetPile™ Plus brands, ArcelorMittal Sheet Piling provides steel sheet piles with a significantly reduced carbon footprint produced via the EAF-route using 100% recycled, recyclable, and reusable steel, and - in the case of EcoSheetPile™ Plus - 100% renewable energy. The EcoSheetPile™ Plus range is part of ArcelorMittal's 'XCarb® Recycled and renewably produced' brand.

Complete solutions to meet customers’ requirements
China's Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Company (ZPMC) Ltd has won the tender to supply 12 giant cranes and 40 rail mounted automatic gantry cranes for the new port. As a result, ArcelorMittal also supplied A75 crane rails to equip the ZPMC's STS cranes used for the terminal.
ArcelorMittal is a key supplier and partner for this project thanks to our ability to offer complete solutions across our product range and steel grades. "This was possible thanks to the great collaboration between the mill and the commercial teams, which enabled us to achieve good results and meet the customer’s requirements," concludes Frédéric Goujon, ArcelorMittal Product manager for crane, grooved, and light rails.
ArcelorMittal works closely with its customers to develop new or specific rails and products according to their needs, while maintaining a high degree of production flexibility.
New container terminal for Colombo Port
Colombo is Sri Lanka's largest port and handles 90% of the country's maritime cargo, making it an important container port on the East-West maritime route in South Asia.
The new East Container Terminal (ECT) at Colombo Port will feature a 1320-metre-long, 75-hectare container yard, including the connected services needed to operate as a modern container terminal. The entire project is scheduled for completion in 2025.
A road network has been designed to ensure efficient traffic flow for warehouse operations and rail loading. The marshalling area has been designed with a container stacking facility with wagon loading and unloading facilities. Once established, this will serve as an interchange point between road and rail to serve the terminals in the port of Colombo.
