<p>A method for driving a sheet pile (10) into the ground comprises the steps of providing a sheet pile (10) comprising at least one sheet pile interlock (14) having an interlock chamber (20); inserting an obturating device (16) into said interlock chamber (20); driving said sheet pile (10) into the ground; withdrawing said obturating device (16) from said interlock chamber (20). Important features of the method are that said obturating device (16) comprises an inflatable tube (21); that said inflatable tube (21) is inflated after said obturating device (16) has been inserted into said interlock chamber (20) and before said sheet pile (10) is driven into the ground; and that said inflatable tube (21) is again deflated before it is withdrawn from interlock chamber (20).</p> |
