Building science: Considering steel sheet piles for semi-permanent or permanent subsurface water control for below-grade building spaces

For projects that do not include moisture-sensitive below-grade spaces, project teams sometimes rely on sheet piles alone for reduction of subsurface water. Experts from Simpson Gumpertz & Heger explore this sheet pile “water management wall” approach.
