Abstract

A device for uniting residual sheet pile and a main sheet pile into an aggregate pile, wherein a lowermost sheet of the residual sheet pile rests on an uppermost sheet of the main sheet pile, includes a pile-carrying plate having a horizontally oriented upper side whereon the residual sheet pile rests with its lowermost sheet prior to a performance of a pile uniting process, the pile-carrying plate having mutually parallel grooves formed on the upper side thereof, an auxiliary carrying device for temporarily carrying the residual sheet pile including an assembly of horizontally disposed and mutually parallel lattice bars fitting into respective cross sections of the grooves formed in said pile-carrying plate and combined into a rake, guide rails whereon said rake is mounted so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the lattice bars, a stop rail extending transversely to and being displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the lattice bars, the stop rail being formed with penetrations through which the lattice bars are capable of passing through the stop rail, an auxiliary carrying device having a frame, the guide rails and the stop rail being fixed components of …
