High Capacity Micro Pile

High capacity micro piles (HMP) combine the drilling technology used by the ground anchor method and the pressurizing injection technology of grouting.
HMP uses high strength steel pipes in addition to deformed bars as reinforcement, which ensures a high bearing capacity.
They can be used in narrow spaces and where overhead clearance is limited.

This method is applied to reinforcement of bridge piers, abutments, water distribution basins, steel tower foundations, etc., new foundations for pedestrian bridges and retaining walls, and detaining piles for slope stability.
It is used in bridge disaster restoration and road improvement projects.

<Design>
●High bearing capacity can be obtained despite the small diameter.
●Effective resistance to push-in and pull-out
●Footing dimensions can be reduced.
●Effective resistance to horizontal forces by utilizing a slanting shaft.

<Build>
●Low noise and vibration.
●Little impact on underground structures and existing structures.
●Possible to construct with a low head (approx. 3.5 m).
●Capable of drilling in sand and gravel, boulder ground, and rock walls.
●Low excavated soil volume.
