Mini piling is a fantastic alternative when the ground conditions are not suitable for traditional foundation methods. With this method, casings are driven or screwed into the Earth and filled with concrete to form piles. The precise amount and layout of these piles will be determined by a structural engineer based on factors such as ground conditions, access level, and the type of structure being built.

When is Mini Piling needed?

Mini piling is a useful technique employed in clay grounds that have a tendency to expand or shrink. In such situations, casings are inserted deep into the bedrock beneath the intended structure. However, if bedrock is not available, a pile design is created by a skilled structural engineer to address this issue.

Bottom Driven Piles Eccles

Bottom driven piles are a fantastic choice for building foundations, providing sturdy support to structures. They transfer the weight onto strong and suitable soil or rock, ensuring stability. Not only are they cost-effective, but they can also be used for walls, bridges, embankments, retaining walls, and anchorage structures.

Foundations that are classified as being piled are reported to have a depth at least three times their width. These long and thin piles, made from a reformed material, come in predetermined shapes and sizes. To install them, they undergo processes like impact hammering, vibrating, or pushing into the Earth. In cases where the ground is too dense, pre-drilling might be necessary to achieve the desired pile depth.

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