Micropiles
Micropiles: Strengthening Foundations with Precision
At Global Geotech Engineers, we specialize in advanced geotechnical solutions, including the design and installation of micropiles (also known as mini-piles or pin piles). These small-diameter, high-strength foundation elements are engineered to provide reliable support in challenging soil conditions where traditional piling methods may not be suitable.
What are Micropiles?
Micropiles are small-diameter, high-capacity piles made of steel casing or threaded bars, filled with high-strength grout or concrete. They are drilled deep into the ground to transfer structural loads to more stable soil layers or bedrock, ensuring a secure and durable foundation.
Key Benefits of Micropiles:
- Ideal for sites with restricted access or low headroom.
- Effective in weak or variable soil conditions.
- Can be installed with minimal vibration and disturbance.
- Provide high load-bearing capacity despite small diameter.
- Suitable for both new construction and foundation repairs/retrofits.
With precision engineering and advanced techniques, Global Geotech Engineers ensures that every micropile installation enhances the stability, safety, and longevity of your structure.
