U.S. Patent: Method for Planning Sheet Pile Wall Sections

Patent Number: US 8,055,481 B2
Date of Patent: November 8, 2011
Inventor: Roberto Wendt, Rapid City, SD (US)
Assignee: Sheet-Pile LLC, Austin, TX (US)
Patent Title: Method for Planning Sheet Pile Wall Sections

Abstract (Summary)

This patent describes a computerized method for planning sheet pile wall sections using a user-oriented network (such as the internet). Engineers can input at least two construction parameters into a software system, which then calculates suitable wall layouts and components. The system uses stored technical characteristics to determine the best design and delivers those results back to the user.

It is one of the earliest patented approaches to digital sheet pile wall planning — laying the groundwork for modern interactive configurators now offered by Sheet-Pile LLC.
