Hi all,

I am trying to remember the name this certain term/item but I just can't
think of it

Basically, it applies in construction when a hole/trench or similar is
dug and metal sheets are placed on the walls of the said hole to stop
the earth caving in?

Sheet piling

Aren't pilings permanent? Is this, for example, what was done to the local
water course namely sheets piled in about 8 feet from the banks and rods
between the sheets and the "planking" forming the banks? Basically the
sheets are holding the banks up.
