MICROPILES

Micropiles provide a solid foundation in almost any soil type.

What are Micropiles?

Micropiles are small-diameter drilled and grouted piles reinforced with a high-strength threaded bar to transfer loads to a competent soil or rock layer. Typically, they’re classified as 2.5″ to 12″ in diameter and they can extend to depths of 200 feet and achieve working loads of over 400 tons. Due to the small pile size, they can be installed with permanent steel casing to provide increased lateral capacity.

A micropile is a frictional foundation element that develops capacity through the bond between the cement grout column and the surrounding soil/rock, which provides tension, compression, and lateral resistance. The capacities vary depending on the drill diameter, reinforced casing size, and soil conditions in combination with the installation and grouting procedure. The design adhesion between the grout and soil can be increased using installation and grouting techniques.

High Load Capacity

Can bear working loads of over 400 tons in both tension and compression.
