Micropile Installation
High load capacity, adaptable installation, and a smaller footprint for sites with restricted access.
Micropiles are small-diameter deep foundation elements designed to transfer loads to more competent soil or rock layers. They deliver strength below the surface, no matter the site. Our experts leverage these specialized systems to address underground challenges of all types: voids, sensitive environments, difficult soil, heavy loads, and more.
Applications
What Are Micropiles Used For?
Micropiles are the preferred choice for confined spaces — think basements, tunnels, tight sites, and urban areas — where conventional equipment just won’t fit.
Overcome Limited Access
Ideal for existing structures, low headroom, and congested sites.
Drill Through Soil and Rock
Reach competent layers through karst, debris fill, and more.
Continuous Optimization
We’ll adapt our approach as we drill and soil conditions change.
Micropile Benefits
Key Advantages
These versatile elements can be used to support new construction, stabilize slopes, or reinforce existing structures in the most challenging settings.
The ICOP Difference
Design-Build Partnership
We work with clients and engineering partners to optimize each design for site conditions, project specifications, and constructibility.
Our experts combine micropiles of varying diameters and lengths — depending on the soil profile — to create the most efficient and economical deep foundation solution.
