Kerja Micropiles banyak cabaran, antaranya ialah:
No.1 : Kos yang mahal (High COsT)
RM150–350 /meter
Harga bergantung pada (Price Depends on )
- Reinforcement Type
- Volume (φ) of hole
- Grouting Method (any post grouting)
- Location - Accessibility
- Length/Quantity of piles
- High Steel (up to 20% As/Ac)
- High Labour Cost – Low Prod
- Grout (NS) (+admixture) expensive
- Fabricate cage in-situ compared to
- mass production for precast RC pile
- Specialist technology expensive
- Few players in the market
Why Slow
Although Drilling rate alone is high
(e.g. up to 1’/min DTH thru granite)
- Adding/Dismantling of Rods manually
- Installation/Extract of casing time-consuming
- Manual in-situ fabrication of cage on-site
- Fixing of couplers, spacers, welding take time
- Manual mixing of cement grout
- Same machine used for cage installation
- High rig breakdown (mostly hydraulic)
- Estimation of soil / selection of drill bit
- difficult – slow down during drilling
- Start-up check/servicing of rig long

Kelebihan Micropile =Benefits of Micropiles –
No.1 Reason
- Low Headroom /
- Restricted Access
- Problem
No.2 Reason :
- High Performance
- •Loading fr 3 – 500 tons!
- •Higher As/Ac compared to RC Driven pile
- As Micropile 4-8% vs As RC Pile <3%
- -> Better in Bending, Lateral Loading
- Shear resistance, Seismic performance
- Can Penetrate Anything
- • Drilling thru stiff clay, sandstone, timber,
- granite (except buried steel).
- •Easier penetration in rock compared to bored pile.
- Flexibility
- (Many Ways) to adjust to
- difficult soils…
- • Enhance End Bearing
- •‘Cross-Breed’ with other Ground Improvement
- technique…
- Flexibility – Suits
- the soil, Suits your
- needs…
- Almost ZERO
- Vibration/Noise.
- NO Complains!
