What is Mini Piling?
- Restricted access properties
- Low headroom interiors or basement works
- Sites close to neighbouring structures
- Environments where vibration needs to be minimised
- Ground conditions affected by made ground or historic industrial use
Pile Sizes
Mini piles are generally considered to be under 300mm in diameter, although we install piles ranging from 100mm to 600mm across Inverclyde and Renfrewshire.
Even larger piles may still be classed as mini piling when installed using compact rigs. In many cases the classification relates more to site access and equipment logistics than pile diameter alone.
