Micropile Technology

 

With more than a decade of experience in the design and construction of micropiles, Crux has become an innovation leader in the industry.  We have helped to shape the evolution of micropiles, traditionally intended for underpinning buildings and monuments, into a solution for a vast array of construction projects.

Micropiles can offer fast and effective alternatives to traditional construction methods.  

Crux specializes in constructing micropile foundations where access, environmental factors, or geological conditions prevent the use of other methods. We also offer expertise in micropile installation to replace deteriorating foundation systems, to provide additional support for structures during renovation, and to support structures affected by adjacent excavation, tunneling or dewatering activities.
 

Micropile Project Types:

Micropile Benefits:

  • Installed through virtually any ground condition, obstruction or foundation, and at any inclination
  • Ensures minimum vibration or other damage to foundation and subsoil
  • Ability to be installed close to existing walls, with as little as six feet of headroom
  • Allows facility operations to be maintained during construction
  • Resists compressive, tensile, lateral loads, or inherent combinations thereof

  • Impressively high load capacity with extremely low total and permanent settlement
  • Simple and economical connection to existing and new structures
  • Can be preloaded to working load before connecting to particularly sensitive structures
  • Faster construction schedules and fewer change orders versus traditional methods
  • Can be installed in environmentally sensitive locations, using lightweight, specialty equipment
  • Cost effectiveness
