Frequently Asked Questions

All Surefoot pile caps are fabricated using 350+ grade plates with variable thickness, starting with the T150 at 4mm thick to the S600 at 10mm thick, the driving guides are custom made to suit the micropiles.

The micropile is one of the main components of Surefoot. Each micropile is driven into the ground and together they resist the loadings applied to the Surefoot cap.

The size of our micropiles is a standard 32 Nominal Bore pipe with a minimum gauge of 2.6mm, although thicker gauges can be selected. They come in Hot Dipped Galvanized finish.

The Surefoot loads are determined using the relevant Australian Standards calculations. Surefoot can receive loads of up to 36 Tonne depending on the model. Further capacities can be achieved by combining models in groups and joining with steel sub frames. Surefoot is one of the only systems that has the capacity to resist high bending moments which means that it can be used for many purposes beyond typical construction such as communication towers, masts and wind turbines.

Depending on soil and environment characteristics, the minimum life span of a Surefoot system is over 50 years.
