Micropile Installation by EBS Geostructural

A micropile is a small diameter (305mm or less) friction pile that is bored or drilled and can be installed at an angle to accommodate axial and lateral loads. Common installation methods for Micropiles include down-the-hole hammer (DTH), and rotary-percussion (top hammer). Soil type, rock conditions and application determine the method of drilling that will be used. They can be installed in soil, rock, cobbles and boulders, through man-made obstructions or in areas with high water tables to depths in excess of 60 metres (200 ft.)
