Specialty Piling Solutions

When standard shallow foundation systems aren’t enough, specialty piling offers advanced solutions for challenging soil conditions and demanding construction projects. These deep foundation techniques transfer structural loads to stable strata, ensuring long-term stability and performance for buildings, infrastructure, and marine applications.

Menard USA provides a wide range of specialty piling, including micropiles, driven piles, ductile iron piles, ductile steel piles, auger cast piles, drill displacement piles, and helical piles, tailored to meet your project’s unique requirements.

Whether your construction project involves restricted access, variable soils, or complex foundation design, our team delivers engineering expertise and proven piling solutions tailored to your site.

Micro Piles

Micro piles are specialized foundation elements designed for projects with limited access, restricted headroom, difficult drilling conditions, or structural rehabilitation needs. This piling technique provides reliable support for structures where traditional pile types cannot be used.

APPLICATIONS

  • Underpinning and seismic retrofitting for existing foundations

  • Stabilizing historic buildings and confined urban sites

  • Supporting structures in areas with challenging soil conditions or space limitations

ADVANTAGES

  • Durable and stable performance in restricted-access environments

  • Can be easily connected to existing foundations

  • Drilling methods can be adapted to bouldery/obstructed ground

Helical Piles

Helical piles, also known as screw piles, are versatile foundation elements used in projects where rapid installation and minimal ground disturbance are essential. This piling technique provides immediate load capacity and is suitable for both temporary and permanent structures.

APPLICATIONS

  • Residential, commercial, and modular building projects

  • Sites with limited access, restricted headroom, or sensitive soil conditions

  • Underpinning, retrofitting, and seismic upgrades for existing foundations

  • Limited footprint/small projects and projects requiring lateral support

ADVANTAGES

  • Fast installation with minimal excavation and low environmental impact

  • Minimal or no spoils generated

  • Reusable and adaptable to various pile systems and construction requirements

  • Ideal for small footprint projects due to low mobilization costs of small equipment

Auger Cast and Drill Displacement Piles

Auger cast piles and drill displacement piles are advanced piling techniques for deep foundation projects requiring minimal vibration and precise load transfer. These methods, along with bored piles and drilled pipe piles, provide versatile foundation systems for sensitive sites and high-capacity requirements.

APPLICATIONS

  • High-rise structures, infrastructure projects, and confined construction sites

  • Areas requiring low-vibration installation to protect adjacent structures

  • Drill displacement piles for contaminated soils, sensitive soils and densifiable soils

ADVANTAGES

  • Adaptable to a wide variety of soil types and engineering requirements

  • Reliable performance for deep foundations carrying heavy vertical and lateral loads

  • Drill displacement piles minimize spoils

  • Combines precision drilling, grout injection, and advanced piling installation techniques for optimal foundation support

Ductile Iron Piles

Ductile iron piles, a type of driven pile, are proven foundation elements for deep foundation projects. Installed using specialized pile driving equipment, this piling technique provides reliable support for structures in variable soil conditions and challenging ground environments.

APPLICATIONS

  • Providing solutions for foundations in residential, commercial and infrastructure projects

  • Ideal for contractor needs where deep foundation performance is critical

  • Effective in sites with small footprints and deep bearing layers

ADVANTAGES

  • High load-bearing strength and predictable performance

  • Fast installation with minimal spoils and reduced environmental impact

  • Ductile iron piles offer vibration-controlled installation for sensitive ground conditions, ensuring quality and stability
