Re Micropile design, SE delivers and Geotech delivers?
(OP)
I am working on a project where I initiated the change from pressure grouted 12" steel tubex piles to 10" or smaller micropiles because the tubex rig cannot fit in one lobby area and in one tunnel area (two footings). A micropile Klemm drilling rig was recommended by two contractors as the machine to use to get piles/installed drilled in the confined areas. Our Structural Engineer is making the change and I am hiring the Geotechnical Engineer to support him. I am getting the feeling that both are unfamiliar with micropile technology (as well as me), and are looking to the other for who determines how many micropiles are needed. My question is "which delivers what?"

I suggest you contact a member of the ADSC - The International Association of Foundation Drilling (www.adsc-iafd.com). Check the Online Directory. Many installers are Contractor Members and the designers would likely be Technical Affiliate Members. In addition, for your personal use, check out the Technical Library Publications.
