Abstract:
As hollow bar micropiles grow in popularity, the applications have become increasingly challenging as contractors continue to push the limits of the foundation technology. Ischebeck Titan hollow bar micropiles have proven themselves to be incredibly versatile, so much that they are now able to be utilized in underwater applications. Traditionally water applications would require the use of large
coffer dams to allow contractors to reach the floor of the given body of water. With the use of the Ischebeck Titan Bayonet System these are no longer required. The Bayonet system allows for the micropile to be installed from above with the assistance of a dive team. Extremely high structural loads are still able to be achieved as the system is available all the way up to the T103 product family. Having this as a foundation option allows for a shortened construction schedule and increased cost savings when compared to traditional subsurface foundation alternatives.
