Costs you can save

1. No contractor needed

Prolock Sigma can be installed yourself. Average installation costs by a contractor: € 40–80 per linear meter. You will quickly save money on a 25 meter project € 1.000–2.000.

2. No crane or heavy equipment

For hardwood sheet piling you often rent a crane (€ 500–1.000/day) and vibrating hammer. At Prolock, manual installation is the standard.

3. Zero maintenance costs

No oil, stain or paint in 50 years. For hardwood revetments: 20× oils at € 10–15/m¹ = € 200–300/m¹ in maintenance over the lifespan.

4. Free delivery

Houthandel Jan Sok delivers throughout the Netherlands free for orders from € 2.500. A project from 25+ meter will soon appear here.


Cost Comparison: Prolock vs. Hardwood vs. Concrete

Over a period of 50 years (total cost of ownership):

System Purchase/m¹ Placement/m¹ Maintenance (50 years) Replacement Total over 50 years
Prolock Sigma 100cm € 107 € 0 (self) € 0 Not necessary € 107

Concrete sheet pile wall € 300 € 100 € 50 Not necessary € 450

Prolock Sigma is the cheapest option over its entire lifespan.

Every situation is different. The costs are influenced by:

  • Soil type - soft ground requires longer stakes
  • Corners - each corner requires a corner profile (€ 55)
  • Accessibility - locations that are difficult to reach may incur additional costs
  • Height difference - larger height differences require stronger construction
