Micro/Mini Piling

Micropiles are small diameter drilled and grouted friction piles. Each pile includes steel elements that are bonded into the bearing soil or rock – usually with cement grout. The bearing stratum is logged during installation drilling to assure that bearing capacity is adequate. Since micropiles are bonded to the rock socket wall, they do not rely on end-bearing capacity and there is no need to establish competency of rock beyond bond-depth. They can be installed quickly in virtually every type of ground using highly adaptable mobile drilling equipment. These steel piles typically have working capacities up to 250 tons.
