Micropiles for new construction

A piled foundation is the most common type of deep foundation used to transfer structural loads into the deeper layers of the foundation in such a way that the deeper layers of soil or rock can withstand the required loads. A piled deep foundation is generally more expensive than a conventional shallow foundation and is used where the soil at or near the surface has poor bearing capacity or problems with subsidence occur.

The main functions of piles are:

• To transfer a large load from the upper parts to the lower, more stable layers of the soil, thereby increasing the carrying capacity of the base
• To avoid expensive excavations (for example under water).
• To compact the soil, compaction piles are driven into the loose loose bottom sediments.
• Technically, from the point of view of construction, there are two types of piles: end-bearing piles and friction piles (with frictional resistance on the side surface). Both options have their advantages and disadvantages.

In order to take full advantage of the maximum strength of the solid layer below the pile tip, the pile must penetrate the bearing layer to a depth of at least three times the diameter of the pile.

There are different types of piles used, and the differences between them depend on their material and method of construction.

Light structures (metal structures, wooden houses, etc.) require piles that act both in compression and tension. The Stato-Pile has a unique shape and thus provides both components very effectively. And of course, the special shape allows the pile to effectively "fit" into the soil and use the force of friction on the side surface.

A particular advantage is the mobility and portability of installation in those places where it is not possible to install a concrete foundation, or it is not advisable at all.
