Mini-piles
are structural supporting members that use state
of the art drilling and materials technologies to
install compression members which improve the stability
and load bearing capacity of structures.
Grout-Tech constructs mini-piles
by drilling small diameter holes and constructing
piles with high tensile steel and high compressive
strength grouts to achieve tremendous load bearing
capacities. Mini-piles are installed, designed
and constructed to stabilize and carry a vertical
load. A typical application would be to improve
a column in a structure that is being renovated.
The improved column will have increased bearing
capacity of loads for which it was not originally
designed.
Some of the equipment used
to install mini-piles we have had specifically designed,
engineered and constructed to operate in low head
room situations. Our equipment allows us to install
mini-piles inside of existing buildings, factories
and tunnels.
