GEWI® Micropiles

The GEWI® Pile design follows currently available methods for micropile, standard pile and earth anchors. As per FHWA-SA-97-070 Manual, minimum recommended design steps are:
- Review project information in regards to pile layout, loading requirements, access and overhead clearance
- Review geotechnical data for soil properties, design parameters, corrosion protection requirements, grout-to-ground parameters, bond length, pile spacing for group effects
- Structural design should include:
- Anticipated settlement/required stiffness analysis
- Lateral load pile capacity/ Anticipated lateral displacement
- Buckling of the pile/soil lateral support
- Additional structural details such as: case and uncased length, strain/ductility of the steel, transition between case and uncased section, reinforcement splice connections, pile to footing connection, corrosion protection
- Load testing program and quality control requirements
