Bored Piling Works

Services Details

Done by a specialist bored piling works contractor, bored piles are replacement piles which are used to support tall & heavy structural buildings & bridges. Bored pile is a cast-in-place concrete pile that is cast on construction site. It is mainly used in the construction of foundation used in connection with bridge work and tall building as well.

Bored piles, also known as drilled shafts or replacement piles are deep foundation solutions that provide support for structures with heavy vertical loads. Through a combination of skin friction and end bearing resistance, they transfer their load to layers of soil or rock that have sufficient bearing capacity and suitable settlement characteristics.
 
These piles are formed by excavating cylindrical shafts into the ground and replacing them with reinforced concrete which is poured in situ.
 
It is a highly specialized operation that is carried out by a bored piling contractor who has extensive knowledge and experience of bored pile construction and engineering in addition to soil and site conditions.
 
As opposed to displacement piles/ driven piles, where the soil is forced away by driving or screwing the pile, bored piles offer various advantages as follows:
 
Our Bored Pile works Advantages:
• Suitable for all site conditions
• Piles of variable lengths can be executed
• Less disruption to adjacent soils
• Vibration is relatively low, reducing disturbance of adjacent piles or structures. Hence, more suited for urban areas.
• For many design situations, bored piles offer higher capacities with potentially better economics than driven piles.
