Here at Rhino Piling, our team of experts will carry out an on-site evaluation of the land surrounding your proposed project in order to assess its suitability for piling foundations and determine whether there are any potential risks that need to be taken into consideration. After all, the type of soil in the surrounding area and any existing nearby foundations could be the difference between traditional piles or an alternative like mini piling.
Mini piling is a foundational solution in its own right that is often recommended in circumstances where the headroom is too low, because mini-piling rigs are smaller in size and significantly less bulky which makes them easier to transport and utilise in these enclosed spaces. The only difference between traditional piling and mini piling is that the latter makes use of piles with a narrower diameter, however they provide the same standard of support and stability one would expect with any deep foundational approach.
Aside from being used in existing builds where there may be restricted access to the foundations already in place, mini piling also provides a variety of benefits that are often overlooked by property owners. For instance:
- Mini piling can be adapted in order to suit the budget of the client.
- Opting for mini piling foundations can benefit the environment by reducing the carbon footprint required to construct and install the piles.
- Low-vibration installation means that mini piling is less likely affect adjacent structures.
- The versatility of mini piling means that it can be safely installed in adverse conditions where the soil may be too soft or the surrounding area is sloped.
The foundation of a property is one of the most important yet frequently neglected aspects of an entire structure as it is responsible for the stability of the materials placed above and their longevity in the face of soil movement and displacement that may or may not lead to subsidence. Here at Rhino Piling, our mini piling service is designed with the specifications of your piling project in mind in order to deliver a foundation that ticks all the boxes.
