Bulkhead Cap

SHEET PILE DESIGN CRITERIA AND NOTES

(See Bulkhead Plans
for actual Cap outline)
DESCRIPTION:
This Design Standard includes details for five types of piles with two thicknesses.
Types "B1", "B2", "C1" and "C2" piles (corner piles) are of reinforced concrete construction, and Type "A" is of
prestressed concrete construction. The piles shall be manufactured, cured and installed in accordance with
the requirements of the contract documents.

The plastic filter fabric shall extend to the bottom of the "X" dimension.

PILE PICK-UP AND HANDLING:

Grout (Typ.) (See Specifications) Type "A"
Pick-up of pile may be either a single point pick-up or a two point pick-up as shown below.

Two point pick-up for lifting out of forms & two point support for storage & transportation.
Type "A" (Typ.)

Single point pick-up for installation only.

PILE FIT-UP:
90
~

The 2’-6" Sheet Pile dimension is nominal. This dimension may be shortened by the Manufacturer up to b" to
allow for Sheet Pile fit-up in its final position. Minimum Sheet Pile width is 2’-5b". No changes shall be made
to the tongues or grooves.
