Steel Sheet pile walls can be strengthened by using steel steel tie rods to connect to deadman anchorages allowing taller quay walls for port facilities or abutments.

Steel tie rod are typically fabricated from round steel bars ensuring loads are safely transmitted from the retaining wall to the anchorage point.。
