Auger Cast Piles

There are many advantages to auger cast piles, including:

• Less noise: Auger cast piles are a drilled and pumped pile, not a driven pile. This eliminates the hammer impact noise created by driving piles.
• No objectionable vibration: The elimination of a pile-driving hammer allows the installation of auger cast piles adjacent to existing structures without the danger of settlement or damage to existing footings, walls, other structural components, or nearby equipment.
• No casing required: During installation, the earth-filled auger maintains the shape of the pile hole during the drilling phase. The pressures produced by the grout pump during the withdrawal and grouting phase exceed the lateral pressures exerted by the soil, and while the grout is still fluid, the lateral pressures per foot of depth of the grout exceed those pressures per foot of depth of the soil.
• Can be installed in limited headroom conditions: Auger sections can be manufactured to accommodate installation of auger cast piles inside existing buildings with a minimum clearance of 7 to 10 feet.
