EDO International Introduces Micropile Technology to People in Indonesia
Micropile technology in Indonesia is currently not very popular in its application in the construction world, because this technology is still relatively new to Indonesia. However, this technology has actually been developed and in demand in Europe since the last few decades.
Micropile can be explained as a foundation installation technology similar to borpile, except that the size of the drill is small in diameter. Even so, its strength and efficiency as well as other advantages are reliable. It can also be said that micropiles are small diameter piles. Micropiles are constructed by drilling a borehole, placing steel reinforcement in it, and filling the hole with cement.
Engineers in the construction sector developed micropile technology because they realized its advantages, including:
- Able to withstand soil shear (slidding)
- Able to prevent landslides
- Able to minimize soil permeability
- Can be installed on various types of soil
- Has a high bearing capacity
- Suitable for construction projects with limited time and budget
- Can support building loads and pass them on to the subgrade
While conventional foundation construction has various weaknesses such as; inefficiently applied to unstable soils, less resistant to high seismic intensity, unable to survive in soil conditions with extreme slopes and several other weaknesses.
EDO International is now actively developing micropiles in its projects. As well as to further introduce the various advantages that micropile technology has compared to the application of conventional foundations or widely known as cakar ayam foundations. By taking environmentally friendly technology seriously, EDO International intensely offers the application of micropile foundation technology to customers. This is done considering that this technology is very suitable for soil conditions in Indonesia.
