    This document discusses cantilever underpinning systems using needle beams and piles. It describes the piling options of either driven or augered piles in diameters from 100mm to 300mm depending on the ground conditions and required load capacity between 50kN and 250kN. The piles are installed and connected to reinforced concrete needle beams positioned through the walls. Advantages include minimal disruption to the property, high load capability, ability to construct at shallow depths, and lower cost compared to dig out systems.

    UNDERPINNING CANTILEVER BEAMS up2

    INTRODUCTION
    Utilised where only one side of the structure to be underpinned can be
    accessed so to minimise disruption to the property. Ground conditions do
    dictate suitability of system as tensile capacity required in front pile position.

    PILING OPTIONS
    Needle / pile positions are no more than 1.45m centres, thus depending upon
    the weight of the structure, piles will be installed between loads of 50kN and
    250kN. Therefore, the following piles would be utilised, dependant upon
    ground conditions present.
    Driven
    100mm Dia. SWL 50kN
    150mm Dia. SWL 100kN
    220mm Dia. SWL 200kN
    Augered
    200mm Dia. SWL 125kN
    250mm Dia. SWL 175kN
    300mm Dia. SWL 250kN

    INSTALLATION
    Piles either driven or augered are installed and then connected to the
    reinforced concrete needle beams, positioned through the walls.

    ADVANTAGES
    I) No disruption to the property
    II) High load capability
    III) Can be constructed at shallow depth below ground level
    IV) Cost efficient compared to dig out systems
