DYWI Drill Hollow Bar Micropiles can be installed in restricted access areas or in close proximity to existing buildings. Due to the fully threaded system, the micropile can be extended and grouted in areas where the founding level is deeper than expected.
The rotary percussive drilling method ensures minimal disturbance is caused during installation compared to driven piling systems, enabling the foundations of old structures or buildings to be upgraded without damage.
