Description

• Micropiles are small diameter,reinforced load transfer elements capable of supporting design loads in excess of 200 tons. Micropiles can be installed through almost any type of subsurface condition from sands to clay to bouldery soils to rock. Micropiling is accomplished using low-vibratory drilling techniques, a critical consideration when working around sensitive structures. The micropiles can readily be installed in confined space and low headroom situations. Often installation can be accomplished without disrupting normal facility operations. 
•  ​Vertical or inclined micropiles can also be installed to provide the additional foundation support needed to withstand increased structural loading, underpin existing shallow foundations during adjacent new construction, counteract uplift forces, stabilize slopes, and for seismic retrofit.
