Micropiling & Foundation Bolting
Micropiling & Foundation Bolting:
Micropiling and foundation bolting are specialized techniques employed to enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of structures, particularly in challenging soil conditions or constrained environments.
Micropiles, also known as minipiles, are small-diameter, drilled, and grouted friction piles reinforced with steel elements. They are typically less than 300 mm in diameter and can be installed in various ground conditions, including those with restricted access or overhead constraints.

Key Applications
- Foundation Support:Micropiles provide structural support for buildings, bridges, towers, and other structures, either as new foundations or for remedial construction.
- Underpinning:They are used to strengthen existing foundations, especially when the original foundation has become unstable or when additional loads are anticipated.
- Seismic Retrofitting:Micropiles can enhance the seismic performance of existing structures by increasing foundation stability.
- Restricted Access Construction:Due to their small size and the flexibility of installation equipment, micropiles are ideal for sites with limited access or low headroom.
Foundation Bolting:
Foundation bolting involves securing a structure’s foundation to its footing using steel bolts, enhancing resistance to lateral forces such as earthquakes or high winds.
Key Applications
- Seismic Upgrades:In earthquake-prone areas, foundation bolts are installed to anchor structures securely to their foundations, reducing the risk of displacement during seismic events.
- Wind Load Resistance:In regions susceptible to high winds or hurricanes, bolting foundations can prevent uplift and lateral movement of structures.
- Retrofit of Existing Structures:Older buildings can be retrofitted with foundation bolts to meet current building codes and safety standards.

Both micropiling and foundation bolting are critical in ensuring the safety and longevity of structures, particularly in areas with challenging geotechnical conditions or seismic activity.
