Micro Piles In Liverpool

Micro piles, also known as mini piles, are small-diameter, high-capacity piles used to stabilise foundations where ground conditions are poor or access is limited. In Liverpool, they’re commonly used in properties built on soft or shrinkable soils, or where existing foundations are failing due to subsidence or ground movement. Unlike traditional piling systems, micro piles can be installed with smaller equipment, making them perfect for inner-city sites, tight backyards, basements or confined spaces. Despite their size, they offer excellent load-bearing capacity and are suitable for underpinning homes, supporting extensions, or stabilising existing structures. At ASRS Ltd, we use micro piles to solve a range of structural issues across Liverpool, from domestic subsidence repair to commercial ground reinforcement. They’re also ideal for retrofitting beneath existing buildings where minimal disturbance is essential. If you’re experiencing cracks, sinking floors or signs of foundation movement, micro piling could be the most effective and efficient solution for your property.

Micro piles are incredibly versatile and are used in a wide range of structural repair and construction scenarios throughout Liverpool. One of the most common applications is underpinning buildings suffering from subsidence — a widespread issue in older Liverpool properties, particularly those built on shrinkable clay or reclaimed land. Micro piling is also used to support house extensions, loft conversions and basement developments where traditional foundations may not be sufficient or accessible. In commercial and industrial settings, micro piles help to stabilise retaining walls, bridge footings and load-bearing columns. They’re ideal for inner-city projects where larger piling rigs can’t operate, such as areas with limited headroom or restricted site access. ASRS Ltd has delivered micro piling projects in both domestic and commercial environments across Liverpool. Whether you need reactive structural support or are planning a new development on difficult ground, our piling systems provide safe, long-term load transfer that protects your building from future movement.
