Diverse Applications of Mini Piles
Retrofitting and Renovation: Strengthening existing structures during renovation projects.
Tiebacks and Anchors: Providing stability for retaining walls and structures against lateral forces.
Temporary Foundations: Offering quick support in construction where traditional foundations are impractical.
Urban Construction: Facilitating construction in congested areas with minimal disturbance.
Historic Restoration: Preserving and restoring historic structures without compromising integrity.
Remediation: Stabilising soil or supporting structures in environmental cleanup projects.
Waterfront Structures: Constructing docks, piers, and seawalls with corrosion-resistant support.
Retaining Walls and Slopes: Supporting retaining walls and stabilising slopes to prevent erosion.
Underpinning: Reinforcing existing foundations to address settlement issues.
Remote Sites: Providing support in construction projects in inaccessible or challenging terrains.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the diameter range of mini piles?
The diameter of mini piles varies for different projects based on some factors, such as the load and soil conditions and the architecture of the building. However, their diameter typically ranges between 300mm and 600mm
Can mini piles safely support the structure?
Despite their names, mini piles are actually not so mini. They are highly sturdy and reliable foundations which can efficiently bear extreme load conditions.
What materials are available for mini piles?
Mini piles are not so different from traditional piles in terms of shape and materials. They are available in the following materials:
- Concrete
- Steel
- Timber
- Composite
Does heaving affect mini piles?
No, mini piles penetrate deep into the soil and rest on a sturdy soil stratum. They are designed to stay sturdy even in the extremely harsh soil conditions. That is why they do not get affected by soil heaving.
