STELCOR® Micropiles
STELCOR Drilled-In Displacement Micropiles are high-capacity deep foundation elements that can be rapidly installed with no vibration and no spoils. STELCOR micropiles are installed using hydraulic powered rotary equipment and are spun into the ground while crowd or downward pressure is exerted on the high strength steel core. Grout ports in the steel core provide a mechanism for continuous flow of grout. The reverse flighting creates a continuous unique grout column “interweaved” into the surrounding soil to provide high axial capacities.
STELCOR Drilled-In Displacement Micropiles are the optimal solution when trying to achieve high axial load capacities in extremely poor soils at comparatively shallow depths particularly in limited access and overhead clearance applications. In addition, STELCOR piles can often times offer a lower cost per kip of support compared to other types of piles.
