Mini Piling in Blackpool

Not all types of ground are suitable for foundations to be laid. Where this is the case, mini piling offers the perfect solution. With the solution, steel casings get screwed or driven into a precise position in the Earth. Once is place, they are then filled with concrete to create the piles. A structural engineer calculates what amount, the layout, and the diameter of each pile. What needs to be taken into account are variables such as the type of ground, the level of access, and the type of structure being made.

When is Mini Piling needed?

Properties that have foundations which are already piled, any construction that is made in addition to them require mini piling so that it’s made in the exact same way. The method is used if there are things like underground services or even tree roots sitting within the footprint of a construction to prevent damage being sustained.  

This method is also good at eliminating the possible risk of subsidence occurring and to secure the foundations into the future.

Bottom Driven Piles

The process of bottom driven piling utilises an internal drop hammer in order to drive a closed end steel casing down into the Earth. Once this process has been done, the load of the hammer is taken off and reinforcements put in place. The casing is then filled with concrete. If the ground happens to be really dense, pre-drilling is required to allow the casing to reach its required depth.

These types of piles are used to give buildings, walls and/or bridges support, and can often be a cost effective way of creating foundations for properties. In addition, they can be used in things like embankments, retaining walls and even anchorage structures.
