Mini Piling in Merseyside

Regardless of how unsuitable the Earth is, the process that is known as mini piling can be used in order to create foundations for various types of structures. The process works by screwing or driving metal casings into the ground and then filling them up with concrete to create piles.

Structural engineers are needed in order to calculate the precise layout, diameter and amount of piles that are required. These things are determined by factors that include the level of access, the condition of the ground, and the nature of the structure which needs supporting. The pile depth is determined by the type of ground, as well as its condition.

When is Mini Piling needed?

If a structure already has piled foundations, any additions should also be done in the same way. Mini piling is ideal for when there are underground services like main drains or water mains (or even tree roots) sitting within the footprint of the build as it will help to avoid damage. The process is a good way of removing the risk of subsidence, as well as securing foundations of a structure for future.

Bottom Driven Piles Merseyside

Piles like this are used to create foundations and to give a structure more support. They help with transferring loads onto different rock and soil levels that have the correct suitability and capacity to bear the necessary amount of weight.

Driven piles can be used for providing support to things like bridges, walls, and buildings. They are the best option for deep foundations in terms of being cost-effective. In addition to this, they can also be used with anchorage structures, retaining walls, and with embankments.

So that foundations can be considered to be piled, their depth needs to be a minimum of three times bigger than what their breadth is. Bottom driven piles are long and slim, and are constructed from a preformed material where the shape and size are both predetermined. They can be installed through either pushing, vibrating, or hammering them directly into place. If the ground is dense, pre drilling may be required in order to get them in.
