Mini piling is a fascinating technique used to overcome the challenges of building on unstable ground. When there is no solid ground at a reasonable depth for the foundation, mini piling comes to the rescue. By transferring the weight of the structure onto piles embedded in different levels of rock and soil, solid ground can be reached. This ensures a strong and stable foundation for any construction project.

The width, layout, and number of piles in a construction project aren’t just random choices. They are expertly determined by a structural engineer who takes into account various factors. These include the accessibility of the site, the type of structure being built, and the condition of the ground it will stand on. Every detail is carefully considered to ensure a safe and sturdy foundation.

When is Mini Piling needed?

Mini piling is a versatile technique that can be used even in clay ground prone to movement. When dealing with such conditions, the piles are drilled deep into the bedrock to ensure stability. However, in case there is no bedrock available, structural engineers come up with a pile design that takes this factor into account.

Bottom Driven Piles Bury

Bottom driven piling is a cost-effective solution for creating stable foundations in dense ground. By using an internal drop hammer, a closed end metal casing is driven deep into the ground, providing support for buildings, walls, and bridges. Pre-drilling may be required to reach the desired depth if the ground is particularly dense. This technique can also be used in embankments, retaining walls, and anchorage structures.

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