Benefits of Restricted Access Piling
Restricted access piling offers multiple advantages, especially in an urban environment or remote areas. These benefits include the following:
- Piling equipment and rigs are smaller and more manoeuvrable, making it a suitable option for confined places such as basements and narrow streets.
- Compared to traditional piles, restricted access piles require a relatively quicker and simpler construction method.
- Smaller equipment and rigs produce less noise and vibrations and can be used in urban areas with noise restrictions.
- They are a highly feasible underpinning option and can be easily constructed to provide support to the existing foundations.
Our Method of Restricted Access Piling
The engineers at Mini Piling Essex follow a highly optimised construction process to ensure precision and accuracy in our restricted access piling services. Our high-efficiency piling equipment is outfitted with the latest features and can carry out piling in the most difficult and narrow spaces. Here is our intricate piling process:
Site Survey: Our engineers conduct a detailed survey to assess the soil and groundwater conditions. They also consult with the clients to understand their requirements in order to carry out precise calculations.
Design and Calculations: After the data is collected, our structural engineers calculate the dead and live loads that the piles are supposed to bear. These calculations help them design the most feasible micro piles for the project.
Drilling the Boreholes: After that, our engineers break the ground by drilling the boreholes up to the required diameters and depths. The number of boreholes depends upon the scale of the project and the loads of the building.
Inserting the Rebars: Once the boreholes are drilled, they are secured using grout or drilling fluid to prevent them from collapsing, and steel reinforcement bars are placed into them. The number and grade of the bars depend upon design specifications.
Grouting and Curing: Finally, the borehole is filled with the grout properly to create a good and stable bond between the pile’s surface and the surrounding soil. After that, the piles are left for curing to achieve their compressive strength.
Final Tests: The piles undergo different tests to ensure they are stable, in good connection with the soil, and have achieved their required design strength.

FAQs
What is restricted access piling?
Restricted access piling is a technique to install structural piles in areas with limited access, such as narrow streets, basements, remote areas, etc.
What kind of piles are used in restricted access piling?
Restricted access piling uses smaller piling rigs to reach confined spaces, so it can only install mini piles or micro piles with limited diameters and lengths.
Are you offering design services for restricted access piling?
Yes, our team comprises highly qualified and skilled structural engineers to produce accurate designs for restricted access piles.
What other foundation services do you offer?
Along with restricted access piling, we are offering the following foundation services:
- Bored piling
