Limited Access Micropile

Where sites are complicated by limited access restrictions our fleet of specialized mini and micro pile rigs enables us to offer a wide range of techniques. We can offer viable solutions on even the most restricted sites. Micro piling can be defined as small diameter piles, typically up to 300 mm diameter, where the pile load is carried structurally predominantly by the pile reinforcement. Hence micro piles are often relatively heavily reinforced with a substantial full length central reinforcement bar.

We can deploy pilling rigs capable of fitting through doorways, being lifted on to site or use lightweight rigs where weight restrictions apply. We specialised in auger bored mini piles, bottoms driven piles, drilled and rock socketed piles, bored piling stitch piles, contiguous piled walls and micro piling.
