What Is a Micropile?

Micropiles are small-diameter, drilled and grouted foundations reinforced with steel. Installed with minimal noise and vibration, they transfer loads into stable soil or rock and work in almost any ground condition. Their adaptability makes them ideal for underpinning, limited access sites, and sensitive environments.
