A Comprehensive Guide to Hollow Bar Micropiles and Specifications by ONTON Bolt

ONTON Bolt’s product line features cutting-edge solutions in the realm of construction, including hollow bar micropiles. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the world of hollow bar micropiles, their specifications, and how they revolutionize foundation construction in various industries.

Understanding Hollow Bar Micropile:

A Structural Marvel

Hollow bar micropile specifications are a type of deep foundation element designed to transfer structural loads to deeper, more competent soil or rock layers. They consist of a hollow steel bar with threaded connections that allow for easy installation using drilling techniques. This innovative technology has gained popularity due to its versatility, strength, and ability to address challenging soil conditions.

Benefits of Hollow Bar Micropile:

Strength, Versatility, and Efficiency

The benefits of using hollow bar micropile are manifold. They offer superior load-bearing capacity, making them ideal for projects requiring high structural stability. Their small diameter and minimal footprint make them suitable for restricted access sites where traditional foundation methods may be impractical. Additionally, hollow bar micropiles can be installed quickly and efficiently, reducing construction time and costs.

Micropiles Specifications:

Key Parameters for Successful Installation

When considering hollow bar micropiles for a project, several micropiles specifications must be taken into account. These include:

• Diameter: Typically ranging from 25 mm to 127mm, depending on the load requirements and soil conditions.
• Material Grade: High-strength steel, such as ASTM A615 or equivalent, ensuring durability and performance.
• Thread Type: Ror T threads for efficient installation and load transfer.
• Corrosion Protection: Options like epoxy coatings or stainless steel for longevity in corrosive environments.
• Load Capacity: Determined through engineering analysis and testing to ensure structural integrity.
• Installation Method: Drilling techniques, such as rotary drilling or percussion drilling, are tailored to site conditions.

Applications of Hollow Bar Micropile:

Versatility Across Industries

Hollow bar micropile finds applications in various industries and projects, including:

• Building Foundations: Providing support for structures in urban areas with limited space.
• Bridge and Infrastructure Projects: Reinforcing bridge abutments and retaining walls.
