Reticulated Micropiles Reinforce Existing Structures Reinforce Existing Structures and Stabilize Slope

The document describes a project using reticulated micropiles to stabilize a slope. 85 micropiles with 9 5/8 inch permanent casings were installed, ranging from 65 to 80 feet in length with 20 feet rock sockets. A test pile was installed and load tested to 175 kips to verify the design load of 105 kips. Production pile installation followed, with temporary and permanent casings inserted and grout tremied along the full length. A concrete cap was constructed to connect the micropiles. Reticulated micropiles provide an economical solution for stabilizing existing structures with minimal disruption.
