Mini-Piling

We can offer a wide range of cost effective mini-piling solutions for new build, underpinning & restoration and ground engineering problems based on specialist drop hammer and auger mini-piling rigs as well as with our geotechnical ‘dual-head’ and mini-rig drilling equipment.


The range of mini-pile options includes:

  • Driven cased piles up to 600mm diameter, pile depths to 25m, pile loads to 600kn.

    • Drop hammer rigs from 0.5—1.5 tonnes with both track mounted and mobile units
    • Bottom driven piles with welded connections to pile extension sections give full strength pile with watertight joints
    • No cutting down piles as with cfa/driven pre-cast—therefore no wastage and reduced cost
    • Electronically controlled pre-set ‘driving’ and ‘set’ system which can be used in calculations to verify pile capacities. The drop hammer control can be pre-set to specified number of strokes or to operate at different heights
    • Automatic hands free control during operation
    • Low noise, low vibration and no soil disposal
    • Steel cased piles can act as both compression & tension piles as well as resist horizontal forces
    • Driven Pile Solutions include;
      • Piled needle beams from inside and outside property
      • Underpinning from outside property with cantilever crosshead beams
      • Building support with internal piles and RC floor slab with projecting needles for load bearing walls
      • Building extensions on sloping ground
      • New build on poor ground conditions

  • Bored piles up to 600mm diameter, pile depths to 25m, pile loads to 600kn.

    • Tracked hydraulic auger rigs from 1.0—10.5 tonnes
    • Tracked rotary ‘Odex’ rigs from 3.5—8.0 tonnes which allow rock socketing for end bearing piles
    • Bored Pile Solutions include;
      • CFA Piles
      • Augered mini-piles
      • Secant Pile walls

  • Our range of mini-piling rigs are designed to work in areas with restricted access, working space or headroom including inside buildings and residential property.

  • Piling platforms are generally not required due to the compact design of the track mounted units thus minimising establishment costs

  • Bottom driven steel mini-piles are environmentally friendly as they produce no spoil for disposal—of considerable importance on contaminated sites
 
 


In addition to the mini-piling services operated by Mini-Piling & Drilling Ltd we are also able to offer mini-piling solutions from Forkers geotechnical drill rig fleet including;


  • Rotary cased or augered mini-piles to 300mm dia using powerful Klemm KR 704 ‘dual head’ mini rigs with separate electric power pack.

  • Rotary cased or augered piles to 375mm dia drilled using Casagrande C6S & M9 rigs with ‘dual head’ system. Allows fully cased one-pass drilling through fills, granular, unstable or water bearing strata with rotary, down hole hammer, odex or auger equipment.

  • Reinforced grout piles for stanchion and gantry bases.

  • The mast kinematics and stability of these rigs also allow easy installation of angled piles and pile groups.
