Mini Piles
Your Leading Mini Piling Contractors
Aarsleff is a subsidiary of Per Aasleff A/S, one of Denmark’s leading civil engineering companies. We entered the UK market in the late 1980s and have grown rapidly to become one of the UK’s leading piling contractors. We have delivered some of the UK’s largest ground engineering projects.
As a mini piling contractor, Aarsleff is backed by a team of geotechnical consultants who provide a fully insured mini pile design and installation service. When you work with us, rest assured that we will provide you with the most competitive quote for mini piles that fit your project and budget needs.
Our Mini Piling Methods
We can install mini pile foundations through various piling techiques and methods, depending on the conditions and requirements of your project. Some of the mini piling techniques we deliver include:
- Section Flight Auger (SFA)
- Augered Piling
- Mini Bottom-Driven Piling
Where We Install Mini Piles
Our extensive experience in mini piling enables us to design and implement optimal, value-engineered solutions for a variety of schemes and projects. Whether you require mini screw piles or mini bored piles, we have successfully executed projects across the UK.
Our mini piling services are utilised in a wide range of applications:
Mini foundations enable home developers to create extensions to homes in tight spaces that would have otherwise been out of bounds. Our advanced mini piling systems secure projects and extend your residential developments over lands that would have otherwise been problematic. We have also delivered mini piling solutions for difficult underpinning projects.
Our Mini Piling Experts
At Aarsleff, our piling team comprises highly skilled and experienced professionals dedicated to delivering exceptional results. Our in-house team includes civil, structural, geotechnical, and mechanical engineers who work collaboratively to design and implement bespoke mini piling solutions tailored to each project’s specific needs.
Our mini piling experts will also design an optimal and value-engineered solution for you by using one of the many applications we can execute to solve your project challenges.
We pride ourselves on our commitment to health and safety, ensuring that all our operations adhere to the highest standards. Our expert team is trained to operate in challenging environments, utilising innovative techniques and equipment to overcome obstacles and deliver successful outcomes.
Our Fleet of Piling Rigs & Equipment
Limited space or restricted access to the site can pose issues, especially when a construction vehicle’s physical size, weight and height means we cannot gain access, including the delivery of large equipment and materials.
As an alternative to using one of our large-sized piling rigs, our mini piling rigs allow us to work within such challenging restrictions. For instance, our low-headroom Klemm 709 rig can safely install mini piles while operating in areas with limited overhead clearance. We also utilise mini piling equipment such as drop hammers for enhanced efficiency and precision. All of our rigs and equipment are regularly maintained to ensure optimal performance.
Keeping Sustainability In Mind
As mini piles use less concrete and steel than other piling systems, the carbon footprint is naturally reduced – not to mention the reduction of noise, vibrations and disturbance to adjacent structures during the installation.
To show how we achieve this, J Tomlinson contracted Aarsleff to service a student residential development. Their buildings were split between two adjacent sites, within close proximity of each other.
Due to existing Tree Preservation Orders in place on several mature trees, the mini piling rig was selected to ensure minimal disruption occurred. Apart from some localised pruning to the trees, the rig could work from the existing tarmac and on a reduced-spec piling platform. Therefore, providing minimal preparation work in an environmental impact location. The vibration-free technique selected also provided minimal disturbance during the pile installation. For more information, read our case study here.
The requirement for sustainable solutions is becoming an increasingly important factor in construction projects around the world. Here at Aarsleff, we want to take care of the environment. We are aware of our contribution to the global environmental impacts and we are committed to planning and executing all work processes with the least possible impact on the environment.
