Auger Piling in Taunton SW — Augered Piles for Varied Ground

Auger piling is chosen where the ground suits an augered bore, where access may be restricted, and where a flexible method is needed. It suits residential extensions, commercial foundations, and sites with mixed ground conditions.

Typical auger piling projects include residential extensions, commercial foundations, and sites with mixed ground where a flexible method is required.

Auger piling uses a rotary auger to form the bore for a pile. The method can be adapted to suit cohesive and mixed ground, and compact auger rigs can work in restricted access situations where larger rigs cannot. Once the bore is formed, reinforcement and concrete are placed to create the pile. Auger piling is a versatile method that bridges between CFA, bored and mini piling depending on the rig and the ground.

We assess the ground and the loads, then design the auger pile specification. Our rig forms the bore with an auger, places the reinforcement, and concretes the pile. On restricted access sites we use compact auger rigs. We coordinate with building control and provide pile records.

Auger piling cost depends on the pile diameter, the depth, the number of piles, the reinforcement, and the access. Ground conditions also affect cost. We provide a fixed quote within 48 hours of the site visit.

How does auger piling differ from CFA piling?

CFA piling uses a continuous flight auger that supports the bore throughout and pumps concrete through the stem on withdrawal. Auger piling is a broader term that covers forming a bore with an auger, which may involve temporary casing or open bore methods. We recommend the specific method based on the ground and the site.
