What is Mini Piling?
Mini piling involves the use of small-diameter piles installed by compact, lightweight rigs. It is particularly effective for sites with limited access or narrow boundaries, projects in low-headroom or built-up environments, locations requiring vibration and noise-sensitive solutions, or complex or uneven terrain common in rural and coastal North Wales
It’s ideally suited for work in and around Wrexham, Bangor, Rhyl, Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Caernarfon, and surrounding villages or coastal areas.
Pile Sizes
Mini piles typically have a diameter of less than 300mm, though at Dawson Foundation Engineering, we install piles ranging from 100mm to 600mm. Larger-diameter piles may still be considered mini piles when installed using compact rigs, as the classification depends more on access constraints and rig mobility than on diameter alone.
Mini Piling Equipment and Capabilities
Our piling rigs weigh under 20 tonnes, allowing us to work in areas where traditional piling machinery cannot operate. Designed for mobility and performance, our rigs can install pile diameters up to 600mm.
