What is Mini Piling?
Mini piling refers to small-diameter piles installed using compact, lightweight rigs, ideal for tight access properties, low headroom sites, urban areas with limited space, and environments where noise and vibrations need more consideration.
This makes it perfectly suited to residential, commercial, and industrial sites across Merseyside, where space is often limited and working conditions require adaptable equipment.
Pile Sizes
Mini piles are typically classified as piles under 300mm in diameter. However, at Dawson Foundation Engineering, we install piles ranging from 100mm to 600mm, with larger piles still qualifying as mini piles when compact rigs are used for installation. This is because the term mini piling is more about logistics and equipment than pile diameter alone.
Mini Piling Equipment
Our piling rigs weigh under 20 tonnes and are designed for access-challenged or inner-city sites. Our rigs deliver maximum performance without the disruption of larger piling systems.

- Residential and small-scale commercial projects
