APE's Traditional Range of Plastic Sheet Piling, is an advancement in terms of design and performance over the original budget range.

Design improvements include stronger, thicker sections, with additional ribs in the Ultra Z to enable more standard equipment such as an EMV300 to be used directly.  The ability to work with mainstream equipment, ensures that these products do install much better. 

The Europile, from Pietrucha, was the first product APE presented.  It is a high quality product and despite the diverse range we now represent, it is still one of the better designs for watertightness.   

The Europile is best considered as an advancement over the EcoZ and similar products, as it does not compromise coverage for strength.   The Ultra U provides a similar strength rating to the Europile, but provides a more conventional U profile and comes in dark grey.

The Ultra Z is a new product from Pietrucha, and at 11mm thick is a substantial product, providing a comparable strength rating to light trench sheeting such as the L8, M7 and M11. 

The reliance upon a tradition or conventional steel pile shape, however, does reduce the aesthetic properties as these section do have relatively deep undulating corrugations.   Therefore, where a flat frontage product is essential to the design, it is better to consider the Advanced designs.

For application that are not so visible or can use a fascia, the Europile and Ultra U are extremely good value.
