What is Mini Piling?
Mini piling involves installing small-diameter piles using compact piling rigs, making it particularly suitable for:
- Restricted access properties
- Low headroom interiors or basement works
- Sites near neighbouring structures
- Environments where vibration needs to be minimised
- Ground conditions affected by made ground or former industrial use
This makes mini piling well suited to North Lanarkshire’s mix of urban development, housing expansion, and redevelopment of former industrial sites.
Pile Sizes
Mini piles are typically considered to be under 300mm in diameter, although we install piles ranging from 100mm to 600mm across North Lanarkshire.
Larger piles may still be classed as mini piling when installed using compact rigs. In many cases the classification depends more on site access and equipment size than the pile diameter itself.
Our Mini Piling Capability in North Lanarkshire
Our piling rigs weigh under 20 tonnes and are designed for flexibility and efficiency in restricted environments. They are capable of installing pile diameters up to 600mm, enabling us to support a wide range of structural requirements.
