1)More readily available: Cold-Formed sheet piles are produced at higher quantities than hot-rolled sheet piles, increasing the number of rolling dates to choose from. Typical production time is 2 weeks

2)Cost-effective: Cold-Formed sheet pile is about 30-40% less expensive to produce than hot-rolled sheet pile

3)Less expensive to transport: Due to the larger number of cold- formed sheet pile manufacturers, there is a higher chance that you can find a mill located nearby than if you were to purchase hot- rolled sheet piles. Additionally, the larger selection of cold-formed sheet piles may allow you to find sections with a section modulus closer to your design specifications without a large increase in weight

4)More flexibility in positioning: Cold-formed sheet pile interlocks allow for a 25-degree rotation, rather than the 7-to-10-degree rotation allowed with hot-rolled sheet pile using ball-and-socket interlocks
