Drill-Tech - Micropiles
Micropiles are small diameter (typically less than 12 inches) drilled and grouted steel-reinforced piles used to transmit foundation loads through relatively weak soil strata to deeper, more competent soil or rock.
Micropiles can be designed to resist compression, uplift, and lateral loads and are often used as a substitute for conventional deep foundation piles.
Micropiles are especially advantageous because they can be installed in limited access and low overhead environments and in all soil and rock conditions. The equipment used to install micropiles can be relatively small, and thus micropiles can be installed where access may only be a few feet wide, with overhead restrictions as low as 8 feet. Drill Tech is an experienced micropile contractor providing micropile drilling and micropile installation.
