Since 2015, Mascore has built deep expertise in residential, commercial, and industrial foundation systems. Our growing micropile capabilities serve a diverse range of clients across Ontario — from engineers and general contractors to municipalities and Fortune 500 companies. Our background in geotechnical engineering and soil analysis equips us to provide you with a solid foundation to build upon.
Unlike most other deep foundation systems, micropiles can be installed in virtually any ground condition and in severely restricted-access locations — including low-headroom areas, near existing structures, and on steep slopes. They are drilled and pressure-grouted into place, forming a high-capacity reinforced element capable of transferring structural loads to competent soil or bedrock.
Micropiles (also called mini piles or pin piles) are small-diameter, drilled deep foundation elements typically less than 300mm in diameter. They consist of a high-strength steel casing or reinforcing bar installed into the ground and bonded with cement grout.
Unlike helical piles, micropiles do not use helix plates. Instead, they are designed to perform in challenging soil conditions, tight access areas, or locations where vibration must be minimized.
Micropiles are commonly used for underpinning, structural support, and new construction where conventional foundation systems are not practical. Their design is tailored to site conditions, load requirements, and long-term performance expectations.
Micropiles are installed by drilling a small-diameter hole into the ground using specialized equipment. A steel casing or reinforcing bar is advanced to the required depth through soil, fill, or rock, depending on site conditions.
Once the required depth is reached, high-strength cement grout is pressure-injected to fill the space around the steel element. This creates a strong bond between the micropile and the surrounding ground.
Structural loads are transferred from the building into the micropile and then into the ground primarily through skin friction along the grout-to-soil or grout-to-rock interface. In suitable conditions, end bearing at the tip can also contribute to load capacity.
Because they are drilled and grouted, micropiles can be installed vertically or at an angle and are well-suited for restricted-access sites, low-headroom environments, and projects with complex ground conditions.
Mascore micropiles provide engineered, high-capacity foundation solutions for a wide range of demanding applications. From foundation repair and underpinning to new construction on challenging ground, our micropiles deliver reliable results where other systems can’t.
