Micropile Foundations

From cell towers to swimming pools and residential buildings, our foundation reinforcement solutions ensure the stability and integrity of new and existing structures.

Project Highlight

Structural Support

Micropiles offer the advantage of being installed in sites with restricted access, minimizing the construction footprint and reducing waste. With their high load-bearing capacity and versatility across diverse soil conditions, they are an ideal solution for foundation reinforcement and underpinning.

New Infrastructure Foundations

When conventional foundations are insufficient, micropiles or deep foundations are required to give the desired structures the support they need. Our process involves installing a micropile at every structural footing of the build, distributing the weight and stabilizing it for construction.

Foundation Retrofitting & Structural Underpinning

We provide critical support for structures facing foundation deficiencies or requiring upgrades to meet modern building codes. Foundation retrofitting strengthens existing foundations by installing micropiles and securely attaching them to the superstructure, a crucial solution for seismic retrofits in areas like the Cascadia Subduction Zone. For buildings experiencing foundation failure or settlement, our structural underpinning methods increase foundation depth and load-bearing capacity, ensuring long-term stability and safety.

“No reports of injury or near misses were recorded during the project. The work undertaken was discharged with professionalism using equipment fit for purpose. The project was finished on time and on budget. We would not have any problems recommending GRW for geotechnical difficult access projects.”

“Throughout the project, they demonstrated how their crew was capable of moving and installing large and cumbersome materials on dangerous slopes with both a high level of safety and precision and without the use of heavy machinery. Their innovative approach was a major contribution to the success of the project."

“Global Rock Works (GRW) has completed their work efficiently, safely and professionally on site. They have demonstrated extensive knowledge in rock consolidation works, and have been collaborative and proactive in finding creative ways of getting the job done as safely and efficiently as possible.”
