For marine works at Tseung Kwan O in December 2016 we designed a steel guide frame that sits on the seabed, keeps the sheet piles in line while they are driven, and doubles as the support for a silt curtain around the works. A separate bolted water-stop gate closes off the drain outlet behind the bulkhead, with rubber gaskets and M20 bolts so it can be taken out again afterwards.
