To prevent the soft soil from extruding beneath the tracks a sheet pile wall was built on both sides of the tracks. Length of each wall was 500 meters. To build the walls solid from beneath every seventh pile driven was longer that the others (14 meters). Upper edges of the walls for one were tied together with iron pipes which were bored underneath the rails.
