Micro Piles

The Judy Company offers many great ways to help you improve or construct any project. One of these ways is to use Micro piles when building a major structure.

Micro piles produce soil replacement rather than soil displacement by the use of small diameter piles. Usually, they are drilled and grouted high capacity steel bars using compression. Generally 2”-12” in diameter, micro piles are friction rather than end bearing, depending on high adhesion (side friction) to the grouted mass. The bars can be single or multiple layer corrosion protected.

Micro piles are constructed similar to rock bolts in that an anchor zone is grouted, then the bar is tensioned and then fully grouted, locking in pretension and corrosion protection. A few examples when the Judy Company might use micro piles are:

• Shoring
• Underpinning
• Structural support
• And much, much more

Using micro piles is advantageous in situations where drilling is difficult or if the construction space requires limited drilling space. Call us today and we’ll show you how we can use micro piles to improve or construct your building.
