Description
The Helefix micropyle system offers a low-disruption, environmentally conscious, and precision-engineered solution for stabilising structures affected by subsidence and foundation movement, especially in sensitive or restricted-access sites.
Key Points
- Micropyles Provide a Low-Impact, Versatile Alternative to Traditional Underpinning
Helical screw piles can be installed with lightweight equipment, reducing disruption, spoil, and environmental impact, making them ideal for complex or confined environments. - Real-Time Torque Monitoring Ensures Structural Reliability
Torque measurements during installation confirm load-bearing capacity without additional testing, increasing precision and confidence in structural performance. - Integrated Superstructure Reinforcement Enhances Efficiency
Systems like Helibeams distribute structural loads more evenly, reducing the number of piles needed and enabling more cost-effective, structurally sound solutions.
Learning Objectives
- Explain how micropyle systems address the limitations of traditional foundation stabilization methods.
- Understand the installation process and quality assurance provided by torque-based load verification.
- Identify situations where micropyles are especially beneficial, such as heritage buildings, difficult terrain, or environmentally sensitive areas.
