Mini Piling and Small Bored Piling

Overview - Indepth

Since its initial design Mini Piling (Pali Radice) has been extensively employed throughout the world as an underpinning system for strengthening existing foundations which are settling or are required to support increased loads.

When used for underpinning, the piles are formed through the structure thereby achieving a direct connection between the foundation and a competent subsoil strata, providing the structure with "roots" and hence giving the piles their name. Pali Radice is Italian for Root Piles.

The equipment and techniques employed have been designed to minimise vibration and to operate with minimal noise. They can be employed in areas of restricted access and have the ability to bore through virtually any obstruction. In addition to underpinning, the systems are cost effective for new foundations on sites where geological formations or physical obstructions render other systems unsuitable.

Pali Radice piles are used to construct complex geotechnical substructures including Reticulated Pali Radice structures and high capacity mini pile retaining walls (Fondedile Patent).
