1. Comparison with Traditional Concrete Piles While traditional concrete piles demonstrate strength, their heavy weight, transportation and construction inconveniences, coupled with high costs, often deter users. In contrast, plastic steel sheet piles weigh as little as 1/40th of conventional materials at equivalent dimensions, making transportation and handling effortless. This significantly reduces the need for transport vehicles, lowering shipping costs and minimizing environmental impacts from exhaust emissions.
2. Comparison with Geogrid Gabions Geogrids degrade rapidly when exposed to prolonged sunlight and carry potential fire hazards. On the other hand, gabion baskets excel in slope and toe protection. However, prolonged exposure to water flow may still cause localized collapse. In contrast, plastic steel sheet piles, with their minimal construction footprint, convenient handling and stacking properties, and eco-friendly characteristics, not only shorten the construction cycle but also reduce the construction area. This approach meets engineering safety requirements while simultaneously preserving ecological integrity and enhancing landscape aesthetics.
