The main advantages are their high bearing capacity compared to the borehole diameter, and the capability to overpass obstacles or pre-existing foundations. Micropiles can be used as single load bearing elements, or in groups. In this case, micropiles can be used to form retaining structures (berlin-walls, for example). Micropiles can be installed by using self-drilling pipes, or in a pre-formed hole. Among the drilling techniques, the most used are rotary and roto-percussion, with or without the aid of casing. Other suitable methods for installation of micropiles are auger and coring. The most frequent applications for micropiles are: Foundation for new structures Seismic retrofitting Underpinning of existing foundation Repair / Replacement of existing foundations Upgrading of foundation capacity Retaining walls Soil improvement and strengthening Previous Next REQUEST INFORMATION Trevi S.p.A. 5819, Via Dismano 47023 Cesena Italy | Phone +39.0547.319311 Fax +39.0547.319313 CONTACT US RELATED SERVICES Retention Systems/Shoring RELATED PROJECTS Embankment protection works for "Lungarno Torrigiani" FOLLOW US Expertise Technologies Services Used equipment News Events Journal Press Review About Us Controls & Risks Contact Us Network Careers eProcurement FTA - Academy © TREVI SPA 2016 .
