What is Mini Piling?
Mini piling uses compact piling equipment to install deep foundations where conventional foundations may be unsuitable. It is particularly useful on restricted-access sites, projects with limited headroom and locations where noise or vibration needs to be carefully controlled.
This makes mini piling suitable for a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial projects across Hull and East Yorkshire, including existing properties, urban sites and locations where larger piling equipment cannot operate.
Pile Sizes
Mini piles are typically associated with smaller-diameter piling installed using compact equipment, but the most suitable pile size depends on the project requirements, structural loading, ground conditions and access available on site.
At Dawson Foundation Engineering, we install piles from 100mm up to 600mm in diameter. Larger-diameter piles can still be installed using compact rigs where access or working space is restricted, making mini piling a practical option for a wide range of projects across Hull and East Yorkshire.
Mini Piling Equipment for Hull & East Yorkshire
Our piling fleet includes compact and specialist rigs designed for restricted-access, low-headroom and urban sites, as well as larger equipment for more open commercial and industrial projects.
This gives us the flexibility to work across residential properties, existing buildings, city and town-centre locations, rural sites and larger developments throughout Hull and East Yorkshire.
Applications of Mini Piling in Hull & East Yorkshire
Mini piling is suitable for a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial projects across Hull and East Yorkshire, particularly where access is restricted, ground conditions are variable or conventional foundations are not practical.
Our compact piling equipment allows us to work on constrained sites, existing properties and locations where neighbouring buildings, limited headroom or difficult access need to be carefully considered.
Typical applications include:
- Residential extensions and new-build projects
- Commercial and industrial developments
- Underpinning and foundation reinforcement
- Restricted-access and low-headroom sites
- Retaining walls and specialist foundation works
- Internal piling within existing buildings

How did it begin?
Oliver began his career in 2004 as a piling operative, gaining hands on experience in a variety of piling and underpinning techniques. In 2010 he attended the University of Brighton from which he graduated with a first class master’s degree in civil engineering. After graduating he joined Roger Bullivant Ltd and went on to manage both their South East and North West mini piling divisions. In 2022, Oliver became a chartered civil engineer and a registered ground engineering professional. Oliver’s unique career path, from piling operative to Chartered Civil Engineer, enables him to develop practical engineering solutions for even the most challenging projects.
