Deciding on and installing the deep foundations for your construction project may be the single most important decision you make. You are providing the foundations – literally – for the rest of your construction to depend on throughout its entire lifetime! You want to ensure you’re choosing the best piling material, method, and company for your specific needs.
Various materials provide varying benefits. Wood, for example, is generally the cheapest material to make piles from, so if you’re looking for the most economically beneficial, it could be the right choice for you! However, it cannot come close to the tensile strength of steel, which is the only choice for skyscrapers or other huge industrial projects.
Mini piling is an excellent solution for replacing or reinforcing pre-existing foundations that have eroded over time or been damaged, or in more awkward sites that are more remote or have less room to maneuver. Mini piling also makes very little noise so can work well for construction in residential areas. Environmentally, mini piling produces a smaller carbon footprint than traditional piling does.
These are the projects that could be most suited to opting for mini piling over traditional piling:
- Residential areas or areas where low noise pollution is essential
- Remote, hard to reach sites
- Irregular, awkward to navigate sites
- Confined, limited in space sites
- Sites with higher levels of seismic activity
- Pre-existing sites requiring replacement of existing foundations
- Green projects looking to reduce their carbon footprint
