Mini piling is a solid foundation option when the ground isn’t suitable for traditional types of construction. Metal casings are screwed or driven into the Earth, filled with concrete to create load-bearing piles. Structural engineers play a key role in determining the layout, amount, and diameter of each pile based on factors like the ground conditions, site access, and the structure being supported.

When is Mini Piling needed?

Mini piling is the ideal foundation solution for properties with existing foundations and underground services or trees within the construction area. By using mini piling, we can prevent damage to underground services and ensure a secure foundation for new constructions or extensions. This method not only eliminates the risk of subsidence but also provides peace of mind for a strong and stable structure.

Bottom Driven Piles Liverpool

Putting in bottom driven piles is not only a quick and efficient solution, but it is also suitable for pretty much any type of ground condition. One major advantage is that there is no need for spoil removal, making it an ideal choice for brownfield sites.

A steel casing with a closed end, joined by welding, is used to create strong foundations. Using an internal drop hammer, these casings are driven into the ground between 2m to 6m deep. Once they reach the desired depth, they are filled with concrete and reinforced with individual bars or cages.

We provide a range of piling solutions in and around the Liverpool area.
