Commercial RPS

ArcelorMittal Commercial RPS is the sales and marketing company for steel sheet piles and bearing piles produced by ArcelorMittal Belval & Differdange (formerly known as ProfilArbed). ArcelorMittal’s mills in Belval and Differdange are the world’s main producers of sheet and bearing piles and have been playing a leading role in the development of piling technology for nearly 100 years.

 


Belval steel works, Luxemburg, 1930s

 

The first steel sheet piles were rolled in 1911 and 1912: the ‘Ransome’ and ‘Terre Rouge’ piles. Since then the production programme of ArcelorMittal’s mill in Belval, Luxembourg has undergone constant improvement and development to include U- and Z-piles with widths of up to 750 mm (AU) and 700 to 770 mm (AZ-700, AZ-770).

ArcelorMittal’s piling series are especially suitable for building, reliable structures rapidly and cost effectively. They are characterised by excellent section modulus to weight ratios and high moments of inertia. Sheet piles are used worldwide for the construction of quays and harbours, locks and breakwaters, and for bank reinforcement on rivers and canals. Other applications are the protection of excavations on land and in water and excavation works for bridge abutments, retaining walls, foundation structures, etc.

Following the high demand for steel sheet piles, ArcelorMittal’s mill in Rodange, Luxembourg will start rolling steel sheet piles in 2008. Following the merger with Mittal Steel, ArcelorMittal Commercial RPS is now also selling the U-piles produced by Dabrowa, Poland (formerly, Huta Katowice).

ArcelorMittal is the world’s largest producer of hot-rolled steel sheet piles. Our Technical and Marketing Department offers comprehensive services throughout the world with customised support to all involved in the design, specification and installation of sheet and bearing piles, e.g. consulting engineers, architects, regional authorities, contractors, academics and their students.
