When surface soils cannot support your home, deeper support systems are required. Micro piles transfer structural loads to stable layers below, providing a reliable foundation solution for challenging soil conditions
This method is ideal for homes experiencing ongoing settlement or built on weak or variable soils. Structural Systems installs micro piles with precision to anchor your home securely below unstable layers.
Micro piles provide a long-term solution where traditional foundations fall short. By extending support to deeper, more stable strata, they bypass weak surface soils that contribute to settlement and movement. Installation is minimally invasive and adaptable to confined residential sites. Once installed, the system redistributes structural loads, reducing stress on compromised soils and preventing further movement. This approach is especially effective in Hawai‘i, where soil conditions can change dramatically within short distances.
Evaluate the structure, site
conditions, and visible concerns.
Identify the underlying
soil or structural cause issues.
Develop a safe, reliable,
site-specific solution design.
Restore stability, integrity,
and long-term performance.
Micro piles are recommended when surface soils are too weak or unstable to properly support your home. If your property is experiencing ongoing settlement, or if previous repairs haven’t resolved movement, deeper support systems may be required to stabilize the structure.
Micro piles are installed using small, specialized equipment that can operate in tight residential spaces. The process is minimally invasive compared to traditional excavation, allowing work to be completed with limited disturbance to your home and surrounding property.
Yes. Micro piles transfer the weight of your home to deeper, stable soil or rock layers, bypassing weak surface conditions. This provides long-term structural support and helps prevent future settlement or movement.
