basic information
【Features】 ○ To create a root pile, first, a hole is drilled into the ground using a steel pipe with a diameter of 86mm to 135mm. Next, a reinforcing bar is inserted into this hole, and then the hole is filled with mortar. ○ The mortar used for filling is formulated to expand slightly as it hardens, which improves adhesion to the ground and enhances the reinforcement effect. ○ When drilling the hole in the ground, a small drilling machine (boring machine) is used, allowing for construction even on high cliffs or in narrow spaces. ○ Vegetation can be planted on slopes where root piles have been installed, so there are no issues with aesthetics. ● For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
