MICROPILE AND SPUN PILE

Micropile Spun Pile

Definition A micro pile is a pile with a small
diameter (Approx. 100-400mm) and
therefore cannot be installed to as
great a depth as larger diameter
piles.
Spun Pile is the pile that they
produced at the factory and bring it to
the worksite.It is almost the same
with Bored Pile,but in side is hole.

Which one From the difference between micropile and spun pile, it can be conclude
more spun pile is more suitable to be used because spun pile more cheaper and
suitable to faster in installation. Even micro pile is useful in environment that not permit
be used? ground vibration/ movement or noise, spun pile also can be used in that
environment by using jacked piling. Spun pile also more economical and
practical on heavily loaded structure in soft ground with hard layer (>24m).
