A pin pile is disclosed for anchoring sections of sheet pile to form a wall structure. The pin pile has a casing with a plurality of external clutches formed around the periphery. In use other corresponding clutches on the sections of sheet pile can interlock with the external clutches of the pin pile over a range of angles in accordance with a directional extent of said wall structure.

A soil retaining system combining flat sheet pile walls in an open cell configuration includes integral soil anchors providing an improved earth retaining system. Another aspect of the invention is a method of designing and installing a soil retaining system with an open sheet pile cell structure having integral soil anchors. The method includes, inter alia, calculating soil forces by taking into account material strength of sheet pile, soil friction against the sheet pile in combination with the strength of the integral soil anchor, selecting sheet pile size and length based on soil forces calculation; and installation of sheet pile to form a soil retaining system. The integral soil anchors serve to provide higher load resistance to the improved earth retaining system.
