MINI PILING
A pile or piling is a vertical structural element of a deep foundation, driven deep into the ground for construction purposes.
A deep foundation is a type of foundation that transfers building loads to the earth further down from the surface than a shallow foundation does.
Mini piling is a process often used for underpinning the foundations. They are also used to create foundations for a variety of project types, including things like highway services, etc.
Mini piling is especially useful on sites with difficult or restricted access, or with environmental issues. Mini piling Specialists make mini piles from steel with diameters of 60 to 200 mm. Installation of these piles, by our expert mini piling contractors, place them through top soil, sand and cobblestones.
PILING METHODS
This can be achieved by using:
- Air Rotary Drilling – Air rotary drilling is a method used to drill deep holes into rock formations. This is achieved by rapid rotation of a drill bit which is mounted at the end of the drill pipe.
- Mud Rotary Drilling – This is a reliable and dependable technique for drilling into soft rock, clay and sand layers. The rotating drill pipes carry down drilling muds to lubricate, cool and clean the drilling bit. This technique also coats the side of the borehole with a tiny layer of clay from the drilling fluids. This then stabilises the wall of the borehole and controls the amount of water entering it.
- Impact driving – An impact driver is a tool used in mini piling to drive the pile down. This method uses a sudden, strong and downward force.
- Jacking – This is an innovative and relatively new technique for the installation of pre-formed mini piles. With this method, mini piling companies will use hydraulic rams to push the piles into the ground.
- Vibrating or screwing machinery – These are self-explanatory methods and exactly as they sound. Mini Piling contractors use different types of vibrating or screwing equipment to easily drive the piles in to the ground.
MINI PILING COMPANY
Piling is used for many types of projects, from building large structures to adding a basement to your home. It’s become a popular method for underpinning an existing building to resolve problems like subsidence, for example.
The two main ways of inserting piles are driving, where the pile displaces the soil rather than removing it first, and boring, where you create a hole for concrete or grout to be poured into. The biggest advantage of piling is that the piles can go right through the weaker soil, to meet the firmer soil underneath. As an experienced mini piling company, we can create a safe and secure foundation in a cost-effective and timely manner.
Mini piling is a variation on this, using piles with a smaller diameter. This makes them lighter and cheaper to purchase but still more than capable of holding the load.
With the most common type of mini piling, a hollow shaft is either screwed or drilled into the ground. Grout or concrete is then poured in to form the actual pile, with the soil supported throughout by the steel shaft. Unlike the traditional boring method, no extra support is needed, even in weak soil.

MINI PILING CONTRACTORS IN LEICESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND, UK
There is no doubt that mini piling has its advantages in many situations. In particular, this includes cases where the piling must be carried out in a confined space with restricted room for movement and large machinery used in traditional piling, cannot be used. It’s also effective in built-up areas, since it causes less noise and vibrations, while still producing the most secure foundations. On the other hand, mini piling has also been used successfully for major structures such as bridges and offshore wind farms.
Other projects such as small house extensions, detached plots and sites of environmental concerns are all suitable for mini piling. If you are working on a smaller site, then access will be one of your main issues. With our mini piling systems, this eliminates the problem.
