In situations where traditional methods of making foundations are not suitable, mini piling can come to the rescue. This technique involves driving or screwing metal casings into the ground and filling them with concrete to create sturdy piles. Structural engineers play a crucial role in determining the number, layout, and diameter of each pile, considering factors like ground conditions, access, and type of structure being supported.

When is Mini Piling needed?

Piled foundations are crucial for ensuring the stability of buildings, especially when faced with challenges like tree roots or underground services. By using the same type of footings for extensions or additions, we can effectively prevent damage and mitigate subsidence. Not only does this keep structures secure, but it also provides a lasting solution for any potential issues.

Bottom Driven Piles Bolton

Bottom driven piles are a fantastic option for providing support to structures and transferring heavy loads. They have the necessary load bearing capacity and settlements, making them a reliable foundation choice. With their ability to distribute weight over different sections of rock and soil, bottom driven piles are crucial in ensuring the stability of buildings.

Bottom driven piles can be used for buildings, bridges, and even walls to provide extra support. These long and narrow columns are made out of a preformed material with a predetermined size and shape. They can also be used for retaining walls, anchorage structures, and embankments. Whether through hammering, pushing, or vibrating, bottom driven piles can be installed easily. In cases where the ground is particularly hard, pre-drilling may be necessary for reaching the required depth with casings.
