Micropiles
Micropiles: Critical Foundation Solutions for Complex Commercial Projects
When project constraints eliminate traditional foundation options, micropiles deliver the structural performance your project demands. The Dwyer Company specializes in high-capacity micropile systems that solve foundation challenges while keeping projects on schedule and within budget.
When Standard Foundation Methods Fail Your Project
-
Restricted Access Sites
Interior renovations, tight urban lots, or low-headroom conditions that prevent conventional equipment access. -
Existing Structure Reinforcement
Historic buildings, operational facilities, or structural additions requiring minimal disruption. -
Challenging Soil Conditions
Soft deposits, variable fill, or high water tables where standard footings cannot achieve required bearing capacity. -
Critical Load Requirements
Heavy equipment, tower foundations, or specialized structures demanding both compression and tension resistance. -
Schedule Constraints
Fast-track projects requiring immediate load-bearing capacity with minimal site preparation.

Proven Commercial Applications
-
Historic Building Renovation
Strengthens aging foundations while preserving architectural integrity and meeting preservation standards. Minimal structural modifications protect historic designations while achieving current building codes. -
Urban Infill Development
Navigate property line constraints, existing utilities, and neighbor concerns with precision installation. Maximize buildable area while meeting structural requirements. -
Industrial Facility Retrofits
Add structural capacity during ongoing operations without production shutdowns. Support new equipment loads or building expansions with minimal facility disruption. -
Infrastructure & Transportation
Critical load transfer for bridges, retaining walls, and transportation infrastructure with minimal traffic impact and accelerated construction schedules. -
Equipment & Tower Foundations
Support specialized machinery, communication towers, and industrial equipment with engineered foundations that handle dynamic and static loads.
Technical Specifications That Deliver Results
- Load Capacities: 2 to 500+ tons (compression and tension)
- Installation Range: 6" to 12" diameter, 20 to 150+ feet depth
- Access Requirements: 6 feet minimum headroom
- Materials: High-strength steel reinforcement with corrosion protection options
- Soil Conditions: Effective in fill, rock, cobble, limestone, and variable geological conditions
