Mini piling is a fantastic technique used in the construction industry to create sturdy foundations when the ground conditions are not ideal. By either screwing or driving steel casings deep into the Earth, concrete piles are formed to support various structures.

Working out how many piles are needed and what their layout should be is a crucial task done by structural engineers. They meticulously consider factors like the ground’s condition, level of access, and the type of building being supported. By taking these variables into account, they ensure a safe and stable foundation for construction projects.

When is Mini Piling needed?

When adding further additions to an existing structure with piled foundations, it is important to use the same foundations for stability. Additionally, mini piling should be considered when underground services exist within the proposed structure’s footprint to avoid any potential damage.

Mini piling is the ideal solution when tree roots exist in the ground of a proposed structure. It not only helps to stop subsidence but also secures the foundations, ensuring a solid and stable base.

Bottom Driven Piles Manchester

Bottom driven piles are a cost-effective and reliable solution for providing solid support to various structures, including buildings, bridges, and walls. These piles create strong foundations by distributing the load to layers of strata with suitable load-bearing capabilities. They are also commonly used in embankments, retaining walls, and anchorage structures.

These slender and long columns, more than three times deeper than they are wide, are made from preformed materials with predetermined sizes and shapes. To install them, impact hammering, vibrating, or pushing methods are used. In cases where the ground is too thick, a pre-drilling technique allows the pile to reach the necessary depth.
