Application:
- coastal constructions
- terraced walls (using PVC tongue and groove is a quicker and cheaper way of creating terraces compared to the traditional method, as concrete wall does not need any foundation or heavy reinforcement. What is more, a hermetic wall makes more stable connection with the ground due to profile length).
- protection of foundation from groundwater (and from the forced movement of geologically unstable ground),
- woodland conservation of foundation/concrete walls from aggressive factors (great solution for landfills, animal waste separation in the agricultural sector, etc)
- tongue and groove walls for garden pools (RAL-chart)
Standard color: gray, on request - any other according to international RAL chart.

Tongue and groove resistance parameters
Сalculated bending resistance of a G-300 tongue and groove wall (1m wide) is 2.1 kNm, G-300 wall stiffness (EJd) is 5.5 kNm². For temporary constructions with a project use period of not more than 5 years, the above values can be increased by 20% and 50%, respectively.

Tongue and groove endurance parameters
For the project, when checking the load-bearing capacity of sheet piles and their deformation, the following should be taken into account.
Calculated tension capacity for G-300 (Ft,d) tongue and groove:
ft,d – 16 MPa for permanent constructions
ft,d – 20 MPa for temporary constructions
PVC section strength parameters according to the following table.
