Behind the Scenes: Micropile Drilling

Micropile is the name given to a type of small pile which is centrally reinforced by steel tendons and typically between 100mm to 300mm in diametre. Micropile drilling in Canada is a cost effective solution to infrastructure needs.

When carried out by professional micropile drilling contractors, such as Brewster Well Drilling, micropiles can be installed in almost any geological formation and have capacities up to 2500kn.

Three Facts About Geothermal Well Drilling

A mere nine metres below the earth's surface, the temperature stays at a steady 7-9°C all year. The internal heat of the earth, powered both by its core and by external factors such as sun and rain, creates a steady stream of energy. Brewster Well Drilling is capable of tapping into this limitless energy source with help from our expert geothermal well drilling team.

Drilled Caissons for Deep Foundations

When are caissons required?

Typically caissons are used when shallower foundations such as strip footings or spread footings cannot be constructed economically or safely due to poor soil conditions such as high water tables or hydrocarbon impacted soils. Or when additional uplift resistance is required.
