What is a Micropile?

Micropiles are small in diameter (typically less than 12 in), drilled, and grouted pile foundations typically reinforced with a casing and/or a center reinforcing bar. A micropile is constructed by drilling a borehole using a nuanced drilling technique, placing the steel into the hole, and then pressure grouting with neat-cement grout. Micropiles can withstand axial and lateral loads and, depending upon the design concept employed, may be considered a substitute for conventional piles or as one component in a composite soil/pile mass. Micropile foundations are often installed in a battered configuration or with a permanent steel casing at the top of the pile to handle lateral loadings.

What Sets Micropiles Apart?

Micropiles stand out for their ability to deliver high load capacity in tight-access or difficult ground conditions. Unlike traditional deep foundations, they require minimal equipment, generate low vibration, and can be installed in almost any soil type. Their small footprint and adaptability make them ideal for sensitive sites, emergency repairs, and projects with limited space—offering a fast, reliable, and environmentally friendly foundation solution.
