Titan – The original and best self-drilling hollow bar system
GEOTECHNICAL SYSTEMS
The heart of the system is the self-drilling TITAN micropile that transfers loads to the subsoil. Micropiles can transfer tension, compression and cyclic loads and are used to secure structures.
ISCHEBECK can supply many different micropiles to suit different applications: anchorages, foundations, underpinning, slope stabilisation, tunnelling, mining, etc.
TITAN micropiles are approved according to National Technical Approval / Construction Technique Permit No. Z-34.14-209 issued by the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik (DIBt) and are the only tubular grouted piles that can be used for permanent applications exceeding 100 years.
The following are just some of the convincing advantages of TITAN micropiles:

One installation method
for all applications
Irrespective of the ground conditions and the particular application, TITAN micropiles are always installed using the same method.
- Can also be used in changing soil conditions
- No additional drilling tools required
- No multi-stage grouting
- Installed according to DIBt approval Z-34.14-209
- One operation – two steps
Step 1
Direct drilling
- A cement suspension is injected through the hollow steel bar and forced out through the flushing apertures in the drill bit.
- The cement suspension functions as a flushing and drilling fluid to prevent the sides of the hole from collapsing.
- The cement forms a mechanical interlock with the microstructure of the soil (filter cake).
Step 2
Dynamic grouting
- The fluid of step 1 is displaced by a stiff cement suspension (w/c ratio = 0.4–0.5).
- A grout body forms, creating a high shear bond with the soil.
Application areas
Geotechnical systems
Plant
on site
Various types of equipment can be used to install TITAN micropiles depending on the size of the TITAN hollow steel bar, the type of application and the restrictions on the building site.
Installation with hand-held hammer drill
For the smaller hollow steel bars, TITAN 30 to TITAN 40.
Installation with anchor drilling rig
Universal crawler track-mounted units for installing all TITAN hollow steel bars.
Installation with excavator-mounted drilling plant
For the smaller to moderately sized hollow steel bars and especially suitable for building sites with difficult access.
