Mini Piles
Mini piles are typically between 100mm and 600mm in diameter, and reach depths as great as 50m. They can be used for:
- Adding piles beneath existing structures, such as powerlines or bridges
- Slope stabilisation or subsidence issues affecting your property
- Internally and externally strengthening pre-existing structures
- Resisting hydrostatic uplift pressures resulting from water beneath
- The purpose of upgrading existing floor slabs and foundations
- Constructing high volumes of high-capacity, small-diameter piles
- Construction of unpropped and propped retaining walls and
- Retro-fitting basements and supporting mezzanine flooring
The Process
The process for constructing mini piles will vary depending on engineering specifications and the properties of the surrounding substrate. Techniques for drilling include auger, rotary and cased and may incorporate reinforced steel components where appropriate or necessary. We will use the most appropriate approach in line with your project specifications in order to ensure optimal results. The mini rigs we use are highly versatile and can function optimally both internally and externally. We’re able to achieve safe working loads of up to 1200kN through the application of high-capacity mini piles. Contact us today to discuss your requirements.
The Benefits of Using Mini Piling
There are a number of benefits to using mini piles for your construction project. While small in diameter, these supports are suitable for challenging ground conditions, including masonry and existing concrete foundations. The addition of permanent liners makes them usable in especially soft ground too. The equipment itself is also smaller. Therefore, they are also well suited for use in restrictive areas and those with limited overhead space.
