Aim

The main objective is to investigate the conversion of micropile foundations into EGs to provide heating/cooling to existing buildings in dense urban areas.

Specific Objectives
  1. Reviewing the various existing micropiles solutions available in the market.
  2. Numerical study of selected micropile products by employing heat exchangers.
  3. Laboratory-scale trials to investigate the thermal efficiency and thermo- mechanical performance.
  4. Field scale study of selected micropile designs under varying thermal and structural loads.
