Consolidation

Consolidation Foundations

At Novatek, we are in the business of strengthening foundations, addressing problems such as soil drying, runoff, and increased loads on structures. Using pressure micropiles, we strengthen foundations of new and old buildings, ensuring long-term stability and safety. Choose Novatek for reliable and durable consolidation.

Technological Solutions

Micropile Solution

Novatek’s MP60 micropile technology
is an advanced solution for foundation and soil consolidation.

Implementation steps

PHASE 1: CORING

The first phase of the intervention involves drilling a ø 64 mm core hole vertically through the existing foundation of the building to the ground below. On either side of the coring, two ø 26 mm holes are drilled that do not totally cross the foundation, into which two threaded rods are cemented, which are used as anchors in the next phase (MICROPAL INFIXION)

PHASE 2: MP60 MICROPILES INFIXING

The second stage involves placing a first micropile module (which has a length of 1.0 m) inside the core drill and then screwing in other modules thanks to the internal threading of the micropiles. The depth of driving depends on: – The load-bearing capacity of the building, as determined by the construction project; – The attainment of a layer of the load-bearing soil, such that the maximum driving pressure (rejection) of the hydraulic piston of the pile driver is reached.

PHASE 3: ANCHORING TO THE FOUNDATION

The third stage of intervention involves milling the threaded rods at the pavement level and placing a tie rod (or preloading device, if micropile preloading was required/possible) on the head of the last infilled micropile module. The final connection to the existing foundation is made by cementing with a special mortar according to DIN EN 1504-3, class R4.

Lifting

The Lift Pile was created to provide precise lifting solutions. This system is ideal for correcting structural failure and lifting buildings, ensuring structural integrity with minimal impact during the operation.

Energy Efficiency

The Energy Lift Pile, using the same basic technology as the Novatek Micropile and Lift Pile, transforms the foundation into a geothermal energy source, optimizing energy efficiency for heating and cooling. By harnessing the constant temperature of the subsurface, this system not only reduces operating costs but also contributes significantly to building sustainability.
