Bored Piers

‘Bored pier’ is the term given to a non-displacement pile formed in cohesive ground conditions where an auger and soil column may be extracted from the drilled hole without collapse, allowing reinforcement to be lowered into the hole and concrete to be pumped in to complete the pile.

Where granular soils or groundwater present more challenging conditions, a steel casing may be used to support the hole and allow auger extraction without collapse. Bored piers are typically used as foundation piles to limit settlement of the structures they support, however the technique may also be applied to the construction of soldier piles for retaining walls.

The bored pier installation process involves minimal noise and vibration in comparison to driven pile techniques. ASP Piling has the specialist equipment and expertise to install bored piers across a wide range of site-specific soil, rock and groundwater conditions.
