House Underpinning in Samut Prakan — Segmented Steel Micropiles for Tight Spaces
A foundation-repair job in Samut Prakan using segmented steel micropiles. The key advantage: the piles are short steel tube sections jacked together into the ground, so they work in tight spaces and low headroom without a large pile-driving rig.
This home in Samut Prakan had settled and needed underpinning, but the working space beside the house was tight and obstructed. That is exactly where segmented steel micropiles shine — they can be jacked in without a large pile-driving rig.
⛓️ What "Segmented Steel Micropiles" Means
URETEK's micropiles use short, galvanized steel tube sections jacked together into the ground one at a time — so they work in tight spaces and low headroom, unlike driven piles that need a tall rig.
🔧 Hydraulic Jacking to Firm Strata
We opened the floor to the footing, then used a hydraulic ram to press the steel tubes down segment by segment to firm strata, using the house's own weight as reaction force, with level controlled by laser.
🔩 Installing the Pile Head onto the Footing
A steel head plate was assembled and fixed to the existing footing/column to transfer the building's load onto the pile now bearing on firm strata.
✅ The Result: A Stable Footing in a Confined Space
The house was underpinned and stabilized despite the limited working area — demonstrating how micropiles can reach almost any site.
