A method for driving a number of sheet pile planks ( 3, 8 ) which have jaw slots ( 6, 7 ) into the ground, comprises the steps of: providing a previous sheet pile plank ( 3 ) provided with at least one discontinuity ( 9, 15 ), driving this previous sheet pile plank ( 3 ) into the ground, causing the jaw slots ( 6, 7 ) of a previous sheet pile plank ( 3 ) driven into the ground and a next sheet pile plank ( 8 ) to intermate, driving the next sheet pile plank ( 8 ) into the ground while maintaining the intermating of said jaw slots ( 6, 7 ), causing the next sheet pile plank ( 8 ) to interact with the discontinuity ( 9, 15 ) of the previous sheet pile plank ( 3 ), stopping the process of driving the next sheet pile plank ( 8 ) into the ground after this mechanical event has been detected at the top end of this sheet pile plank ( 3, 8 ).
