Mega pile
The Mega pile is a high-quality alternative to the classic underpinning, applicable in special and difficult working conditions. It is a jacked pile that consists of short cylindrical elements, made from steel or concrete. By excavating underneath a structure, short lengths of pile can be inserted and jacked into the soil with a hydraulic jack, using the underside of the existing structure as a reaction.

Fields of application
• Can be installed in areas inaccessible to the more classic piling techniques and equipment.
• Unlike the classical underpinning method, a pile foundation is realised.
• Most commonly used in underpinning of existing structures or reinforcing of existing foundations.
• The workspace must be located above the groundwater level.
• Simple equipment, no rig is needed.
Environmental impact
• Vibration-free
• Low noise pollution
• No removal of soil
• A stable, dry and flat working platform under the existing construction is required.
