Micropiles
 
Small diameter, drilled, grouted in place, piles incorporating steel reinforcement that are used for support of structures and slope stabilization.  Micropiles are particularly beneficial in poor soil conditions and areas of limited access. 

Construction Stages

  • Drilling

  • Placement of steel reinforcing elements
  • Grout placement
Theory
 
Micropiles and minipiles are used to transfer axial or lateral loads to suitable stratum.
 
Applications
 
This application is useful for support of structures on soft soils, uplift resistance and slope stabilization.
