Ground Improvement with Micro Pile | Micro Piles November 26, 2017 by Namita Micro pile Micro-piles are piles molded on the spot to serve as deep foundations and highly tensioned stress along the shaft, composed of sand and cement mortar and thoroughly reinforced throughout its length. Micro-piles are employed in highly compact or consistent ground or in the ground where bedrock or rocky formations are found, in which excavating may only take place with the use of rotating hydraulic drills. They may be placed in an inclined position. Micro-piles are also known as pin piles, needle piles, and root piles. The micro-pile casing generally has a diameter in the range of 3 to 10 inches. Typically, the casing is advanced to the design depth using a drilling technique. The finished micro-pile resists compressive, uplift or tension, and lateral loads. Allowable micro-pile compressive capacities of more than 500 tons can be been achieved. Ground improvement with Micro piles Micro-piles are ...
