Micro pile
We specialize in Micro Piles, perfect for limited access sites, providing high load capacity
and foundation reinforcement in restricted spaces.
Detail Services
Micropile foundations are small-diameter, high-capacity solutions designed to support structures in challenging soil conditions. Typically ranging from 4 to 12 inches in diameter, these deep foundation systems begin with a thorough site assessment to evaluate soil characteristics and load requirements. A specialized drilling rig then creates vertical holes, allowing for the insertion of steel reinforcement and high-strength grout.Once the holes are drilled, a steel casing is placed within, followed by grout injection, which forms the micropile. This method effectively transfers loads to deeper, stable soil layers while minimizing disturbance to the surrounding environment. Micropile foundations are especially beneficial in areas with limited access, steep slopes, or near existing structures. They offer several advantages, including high load-bearing capacity, adaptability to various soil types, and minimal environmental impact. With capacities reaching up to 200 tons per micropile, they provide reliable support for both new and existing construction projects.
The construction of micropile foundations starts with a detailed site assessment to analyze soil conditions and determine load requirements. A specialized drilling rig is then used to create vertical holes ranging from 4 to 12 inches in diameter.

This process allows effective load transfer to deeper, stable soil layers while minimizing disruption to the surrounding environment.
Micropile foundations provide numerous advantages, including high load-bearing capacity, with individual micropiles capable of supporting up to 200 tons. Their compact design makes them ideal for tight sites and challenging geotechnical conditions, such as steep slopes or areas near existing structures. Additionally, they adapt well to various soil types and require minimal excavation, resulting in less environmental impact. This versatility makes micropiles a preferred choice for underpinning existing buildings, supporting new constructions, and stabilizing slopes effectively.
