CFA Piling in Taunton SW — Low-Vibration Continuous Flight Auger Piles

CFA piling is chosen where low noise and low vibration matter — residential areas, near existing buildings, and on sites where spoil disposal must be minimised. It suits commercial new builds, residential developments, and foundations on cohesive soils where the auger can form a stable bore.

Typical CFA piling projects include commercial new builds, residential developments, foundations near occupied buildings, and sites where noise and vibration must be controlled.

CFA piling works by drilling a continuous flight auger into the ground to the design depth. Concrete is then pumped down the hollow stem of the auger as it is slowly withdrawn, and a reinforcement cage is plunged into the wet concrete. Because the auger supports the bore throughout, there is no open excavation, so CFA piling produces minimal vibration, low noise and no spoil to cart away. It is well suited to sites where noise and vibration must be controlled.

We assess the ground and the loads, then design the CFA pile specification — diameter, depth and reinforcement. Our rig drills the continuous auger to depth, concrete is pumped through the stem on withdrawal, and the reinforcement cage is installed. We coordinate with building control and provide pile records for each position.

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

What is the advantage of CFA piling over other methods?

CFA piling is quiet, low-vibration and produces no spoil to dispose of, because the auger supports the bore throughout. That makes it ideal for built-up areas, sites near occupied buildings, and projects where noise and vibration must be controlled.
