Micro-pile

A pile is a structural element driven into the soil for transferring loads and prevent deformation. Its slenderness ratio is not limited.
Pile shafts can be uniform and rectilinear, telescopic and belled out.
Piles can be installed either separately or in groups. They can also form a retaining wall, a mixed curtain wall, contiguous piles, secant piles and composite curtain walls, such as Berlin walls and similar. Piles are also used as precast beams to be placed in the structure of the building they support.
There are three main types of piles:
Dsiplacement piles, bored piles and micropiles. Displacement piles are drilled piles and can be either precast or cast-in-place. Soletanche Bachy has developed a cast-in-place rotary displacement pile marketed under the trade-mark SCREWSOL® , which combines enhanced friction capacity with the creation of a thread around the pile casing, that significantly increases pile bore diameter.
